The std.benchmark proposal currently requires all benchmark functions to
be named "benchmark_name":

void benchmark_stdio_write_test() {}

with UDA:

@benchmark("stdio write test") void benchStdioWrite();

Of course you still need that "sheduleBenchmarks" mixin in every module
and of course it'd be nice to avoid that. But UDAs are already a big
step forward.
