In general, yes I think benchmarking is a sensible follow-on from test suites. We can follow the same approach of specifying a protocol so that we can add more sophisticated interfaces later as we gain experience wit them.
What do you think about the very basic interface I gave? It basically just makes it possible to create executables that are distinguishable as benchmarks. That seems like a very small step but it solves more or less all of my problems*. Should I go ahead and implement it? * I prefer not to use the workaround as having spurious executables confuses Hackage (which lists them) and users. Cheers, Johan
