+// This benchmark writes the print and benchmark data to stdout. In order to
+// preserve the benchmark output it needs to be stored in a file (using the
+// console format). Another issue with the benchmark is the time it takes to
+// write output to the real terminal. In order to avoid that overhead write the
+// output to a fast "terminal", like /dev/null. For example, the printf
+//   console    1546   ns
+//   /dev/null    70.9 ns
+// An example of a good test invocation.
