Summary: Include Classes by Annotation

Initial Comment:
There is no way to include classes for analysis by class / interface annotations.

Use case: part of the application code is public API. Each class / interface in public API is annotated with @PublicAPI. There is a need to collect code coverage statistics solely for public API code.

Message:
Also, JavaDoc allows grouping via package wildcards. I wonder if a wildcard
filter could be enabled since your public API should follow predictable
naming pattern(s).

Message:
An alternative solution is to introduce a @Category annotation ala JUnit
4.8. This annotation is an adhoc categorization. If Cobertura were to have
something similar, you could then target one or several category
combinations for your coverage report.
