Upon further inspection, one needs to regenerate harness _after_ modifying the 
gyb anyway, so manually invoking gyb works fine for now, given the 
[FILE].swift.gyb is ignored by the benchmarking and compilation machinery.

Is that so bad to add .gyb templates alongside the .swift sources and generate 
the boilerplate as a first step when generating harness?

What’s the motivation here? I’m guessing GYB will not be removed from other 
parts of project… The benchmark files for sequence operations I’ve been looking 
at are ripe for templating, reducing possibility to make accidental errors when 
adding new variations.  

I’m about to add coverage for a lot more of sequence operations, as their 
current performance is horrible. These are almost identical, varying only by 
the concrete type of sequence/collection tested, plus lazy variants. Being able 
to automate this seems vital to me.
