The coverage reports as generated by the zope.testrunner ``--coverage``
option, then z3c.coverage to render the reports into html.

In this specific case, I noticed the handlers seemed not be called
(according to the coverage report) when using a test browser
"submitting" a form.

But I didn't try anything else just yet except for running that test
again with a patched zope.formlib - where the decorated would return the
function - and then the coverage was up :-)

Ok, clear.

Thanks for the feedback!
