------------------------------+--------------------------------
 When run with no arguments, the `scripts/test/coverage` script attempts to
 move the .gcov files to the root directory.  This shouldn't happen.
 Hopefully most users won't run this script as a UID that has write access
 to the root directory, but we should fix this anyway.  Either exit with a
 usage error if there is no directory name argument, or change the test to
 `[ -d "$dst" ]`.  (The existing test, `[ -n $dst ]` with no quoting around
 `$dst`, returns true if `$dst` is empty on the macOS and Linux systems
 I've tried it on.  This surprising behavior is apparently required by
 POSIX.)
