Test coverage shouldn't totter up and down as application code is 
written - it should be established by the unittests. And yes one does 
need to examine coverage output while writing unittests.

I do agree more automation is better here (as is always). For example, 
if a template is followed by one or more unittests, the compiler might 
issue an error if the unittests don't cover the template.
