//! `tak.toml` — declared benchmarks.
//!
//! Named after the tool rather than after its current contents. It already
//! holds more than a command list in spirit, and gates, runner classes and
//! competitor definitions all belong here too; `bench.toml` would be misnamed
//! the moment the first of those lands.
//!
//! The point of declaring benchmarks is that CI and a laptop run the same
//! thing. A command line in a workflow file drifts from the one people use
//! locally, and the numbers stop being comparable without anyone noticing.
