If I'm benchmarking (not perf testing) a language with some nuances I'm not too familiar with, I would stick some simple implementations of core workings. If those simple tasks are `supposed` to be done a `special` way, then I'm already not interested.
Why should I need to learn semi-workarounds just to achieve the basics.

How many algorithms don't benefit from optimisations you think?
Of course, but this is not the point of a benchmark test though - Mainly because as above you want that Apples to Apples comparison.
I think I might not have explained my position too well.
