None of those values are escaping or being used. Your only allocation is
probably the call to fmt.Fprint.
This isn't something that really needs a benchmark, it should be obvious
that t is nil in `var t []string`, and t is not nil in `t := []string{}`.
The former doesn't allocate a slice header, while the latter does (though
it may be in the stack).
