<pre>
    As suggested by @LebedevRI here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D139283#inline-1344988:
```
What i would like, is --dry-run option for exegesis,
to do everything, EXCEPT actually running the measurements.
It will help with test coverage, too.
If that option was present, i would have an easy way to check if there is such an opcode...
```
