Research direction

Search the repository for the exact “raise vs E2MM#Raise” benchmark and inspect the surrounding benchmark definitions. Remove that benchmark, then verify the remaining benchmark collection still runs without references to it.

Description

It's nice that someone found that this library is so slow but I think most Ruby devs don't know that e2mmap even exists (actually I learned about this library from this repo). IMHO it would be better to not tell other developers that it exists. I even grepped all gems from ~/.rbenv/ (more that 2000 gems) and only rdoc & yard gems use it (actually they include file ruby_lex.rb). All other benchmarks are more or less used in a real code but this one is completely impractical.
