to be accompanied by tests, but I'm not sure where to put them, presumably
in a tests directory below the benchmarks directory.

Could the benchmark modules automatically rest themselves when they are
run?  Since it it's code that is normally only run in testing, making sure
the benchmarks work when they are run might make sense.
