//! A statistics-driven micro-benchmarking library written in Rust.
//!
//! This crate is a microbenchmarking library which aims to provide strong
//! statistical confidence in detecting and estimating the size of performance
//! improvements and regressions, whle also being easy to use.
//!
//! See
//! [the user guide](https://bheisler.github.io/criterion.rs/book/index.html)
//! for examples as well as details on the measurement and analysis process,
//! and the output.
//!
//! ## Features:
//! * Benchmark Rust code as well as external programs
//! * Collects detailed statistics, providing strong confidence that changes
