Generics are not translated correctly

See original GitHub issue

It appear generics are not translated correctly in the coverage report. They contain the backtick which would be what it would be if you just did Type.Name

So for example Converter<T> will incorrectly translate to Converter`1 in the report.

See this for an explanation

It would make reading the reports easier

This is the output from report generator you mentioned. You can see it is Hard to tell the generic types apart.

@danielpalme Thank you. 🙏 I presume if @MarcoRossignoli provides the original generic type names in the source with > < your report will be fine with that too?
