[TIP] Conditional code coverage

[Ned Batchelder]

You can use environment variables in the .coveragerc file, so you can 
create a pattern for pragmas that uses environmental data. For example: 
https://github.com/habnabit/ebb-lint/blob/master/.coveragerc :

    [report]
    exclude_lines =
         pragma: no ${TOX_ENVNAME}
         pragma: no ?cover

--Ned.
