Description

<AlexDaniel> bench: releases (^40000).grep({!/1/}).elems.say
<benchable6> AlexDaniel, starting to benchmark the 21 given commits
<AlexDaniel> please benchable6 don't act stupid, just gist what you have…
<AlexDaniel> or I'll change your code even more that you'll not recognize yourself in a mirror
<benchable6> AlexDaniel, «hit the total time limit of 240 seconds»

It did a good job in the end, even found the commit that caused the regression. Still, I want to simplify it.

When asked for releases, I want it to test just what was asked. If, at some point, I decide that I want to investigate a regression, I think a benchbisect: command should be available. But this should not be the default behavior. At least, that's what I think. This would make it a useful tool for me, don't know about others.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing releases command and how it currently triggers benchmarking and bisecting; the issue does not name files or tests. Separate the requested behaviors so releases tests only the requested releases, while regression investigation is available through a distinct benchbisect: command, then verify both command paths through the bot.
