Summary:  A way to ignore certain methods/lines in report

Initial Comment:
I have been using cobertura for around a month, so am a relative
newbie.  A feature I would find very useful is a way to distinguish between (a) untested
code that I know about and have decided not to test and (b) untested
code that I plan to write tests for.

Is there way to do this other than at the class level?

If not, I thought a simple way to implement this might be to have a
plain text file listing things to ignore.

The syntax could something like the following:
package.ClassName  //ignore whole class
package.ClassName.main //ignore main method
**.set*  //ignore all setter methods in all classes
file:package/ClassName.java:20,50,56 //ignore lines 20, 50, 56 in file
file:package/ClassName.java:"a = b || c;"  //ignore line(s) matching the expression in quotes in file
file:**/*.java:assert** //ignore assertions in all files

Then in the coverage report, there could be two extra categories:
covered ignored and uncovered ignored (which perhaps could be shaded
grey).

Best,

Luke

Message:
maybe we could have another mode for instrument because tree pattern would
be better for complex ignore rule, what about you guys？
