Automatically ignore lines containing just an ellipsis

[nickeldan]

It is common practice, when defining a typing.Protocol, to put in an ellipsis as a method stub:

class Proto(typing.Protocol):
    def func(self) -> int:
        ...

Since the stubs are never actually called, I have to manually put # pragma: no cover after each ellipsis.

Would it make sense for coverage to automatically not cover a line that is just an ellipsis?

You don't have to add a comment to each line. You can add to your exclude_lines setting:

[report]
exclude_lines:
    ^\s+\.\.\.

Keep in mind that you have to also add the default settings here as well, since your setting will override the defaults.
