Hyperfine will automatically determine the number of runs to perform for each command. By default,
it will perform *at least* 10 benchmarking runs and measure for at least 3 seconds. To change this,
you can use the `-r`/`--runs` option:
it will perform *at least* 10 benchmarking runs and estimate a run count targeting roughly

option. This is helpful for very fast commands (< 5 ms) where the shell startup overhead correction would
produce a significant amount of noise. Note that you cannot use shell syntax like `*` or `~` in this case.
