✅ No release notes required

General question, what is it good for?
As in what developer scenarios should it support?

Well this is for whoever wants to deep dive in F# benchmarks with as little distraction as possible - e.g. me, this month.
Same idea as FSharp.Editor.sln is the minimal solution for working with the editor.

In the future, I want to utilize this solution for doing some CI checks, e.g. it should at least compile.

"Working with the Editor" makes sense from actual feature delivery perspective.
I fail to see "working with the benchmarks" as a useful independent scenario, the existing benchmarks are single-purpose temporary code artefacts anyway.

(except helper code to facilitate creation of certain kinds of benchmarks, e.g. helpers to mimic tooling operations)

==> I would rather approve deletion of those projects

I don't want to delete these projects. They can serve as benchmark examples for similar tasks. As in, there is no need to run these particular benchmarks in the CI, however if someone wants to bench a similar functionality - we have something to easily copy-paste and use as a starting point.

For this reason, I think it's important to keep those in shape - at least compiling, maybe also doing some smoke testing.

That said, this is a somewhat orthogonal discussion - I just want to have a solution with the overview of all the benchmarks that we have. We can add and remove projects later as we wish. A solution file doesn't cost us much.

Helper code also applies, the bench infra also has some common parts and I am thinking to do some further refactoring in the near future.
