"Complete" Code Coverage report covering multiple runs

It would be great to have the possibility to generate a "complete" code coverage report, on multiple job executions, showing us the "total" percentage and total number of lines of code which was actual covered, combined in the different job executions.

Today we can do the compare on two job executions, but this only shows us an increase or a decrease in the number of covered lines. I can not see which lines or where in the code the difference is.

We would like to know that a set of eg. 5 testcases combined actually covered all of our code. Today I have to check each code coverage report manually to get this overview. It would be sweet if we could combine them, to show that we actually covered almost all the code. A nice little bonus would be that this would enable the tool to show "dead" code as well, or at least show me as a developer that some lines are not covered with in my testcases.
