Description

Originally reported by Brandon Rhodes (Bitbucket: brandon, GitHub: brandon)

The attached program, which sends its "for" statement through every possible branch, nevertheless elicits a complaint from "coverage" that the "for" loop missed one of its possibilities. Apparently, "coverage" does not realize that a "for" loop with an "else" statement cannot result in immediately jumping to the end of the whole statement, skipping the "else".
