Comment (by simonpj):

 I'm a bit lost on this

 * Do INLINE functions get cost centres with `-fprof-auto`?
 * Do INLINABLE functions get cost centres with `-fprof-auto`?
 * Whatever the answer we need a `Note` in `Coverage.hs` to explain (a) the
 design choice and (b) how the guard implements it
 * The user manual should specify what happens.
