Looks like a good synopsis of the discussion I was reading. I 
like the goal of benchmark and am unsure how I feel on the 
profiling. I've used the -profile command from DMD, but I'm not 
sure how this translates to internal code. To profile my program 
I'm trying to find the place I'm spending most of my time so I 
can speed it up. Then when I'm improving that area I'd need a 
good benchmark to reduce that time. If std.benchmark could be 
used to support profiling I'm for it, but am not sure for my 
limited desires what that would be.

The other issues listed look like a good idea to address. Hopeful 
module constructors can be resolved in the language so no change 
needed by std.benchmark.
