 If I add a new module to my project without adding testing and then
 generate a code coverage report, there is no mention of the new module in
 the report.

 I believe the correct behavior is for the module to be included with it
 being 0% covered (w/corresponding highlighted source)

 I posted some details here:
 https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/9mjwr6/how_to_get_hpc_to_include_fullyuncovered_modules/

 As a workaround, I could probably use the hpc library to add 0% coverage
 for all modules to tix files. But that feels hacky.
