-- ``COVERAGE_NO_PYTRACER=1`` disables the Python tracer if you only want to
-  run the CTracer tests.
+- ``COVERAGE_ONE_CORE=1`` will use only one tracing core for each Python
+  version.  This isn't about CPU cores, it's about the central code that tracks
+  execution.  This will use the preferred core for the Python version and
+  implementation being tested.

-  This will use the C tracer if it is available, or the Python tracer if not.
+  - ``ctrace`` is a sys.settrace function implemented in C.

   code parsing.
