[policy, no patch] Discuss usage of @codeCoverageIgnore

Problem/Motivation

PHPUnit's code coverage tool is great, but unfortunately there is code that is:

a) either not unit testable [ procedural function call, external dependency, ... ]
b) a false positive like the ending line of an array according to Drupal's code standards.

As of now there are 2 functions using this annotation in Core.

Proposed resolution

Allow usage of @codeCoverageIgnore annotations on:

- classes
- class functions
- individual lines (for false positives)

Remaining tasks

- Discuss
- Change coding standards (if we want to do this)

User interface changes

- None

API changes

- None

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!

    Supported in future versions of phpunit so seems its still relevant.
