/**
    This macro defines a benchmark function.

    All these functions return a boolean value and take no parameters. The
    return value is needed to prevent the compiler from optimizing the
    benchmark entirely away and so typically will be constructed using the
    results of the benchmark actions, even though normally benchmark should
    always return true.

    Once benchmark is defined, it can be invoked from the command line of the
    main benchmarking program.
