maybe it will inspire the Hyperfine maintainers to add the extra data points!

Poop does not run the commands in a shell. This has the upside of not
including shell spawning noise in the data points collected, and the downside
of not supporting strings inside the commands.

Poop treats the first command as a reference and the subsequent ones
relative to it, giving the user the choice of the meaning of the coloring of
the deltas. Hyperfine always prints the wall-clock-fastest command first.
