Request: Exclude private methods and "tagged" methods

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice to see some option to exclude private methods from the
percentage of covered code. I am trying to 100% cover the public methods of
an API, but all the private methods are listed there at 0% screwing up my
statistics. There are also some public methods which will be removed from
the API in future versions so they don't need to be covered, too. I would
appreciate to have a feature to tag these "unused" functions so they are
not listed in the coverage viewer any longer.

What version of the product are you using?
flexcover-0.81

A lot of people have asked for some sort of "tagging" of methods to be excluded 
and I
believe this is very similar in spirit to Issue 9.  However, I don't think 
private
methods should be excluded as a blanket option.  If you have private methods 
that are
not getting called by your testing, doesn't that mean that one's testing is not
exercising the public methods sufficiently?

I agree concerning the private methods. But some sort of tagging would really be
fine, for example to exclude methods which are defined in a custom namespace so 
they
aren't accessable to the end user or as i already mentioned for methods which 
will be
removed / changed soon and don't need to be covered.
