Haskell code coverage tool?

There isn't such a tool that I know of.  Building one would make a good
student project, though!

The profiling system could be persuaded to do coarse code coverage
analysis without too much difficulty.  With -auto-all we get cost
centres attached to every top-level function, and it's simply a matter
of comparing the full set of cost centres against the profile generated
by running the program.  The complete set of cost centres could be
obtained in a hacky way by examining object files.
