/// Benchmark for UTF-8 decoding, complex cases.
///
/// This benckmark complements the `Utf8Decode` benchmarks by exploring
/// different scenarios. There are three axes of variation - input complexity,
/// conversion type, and polymorphism. The variantions are represented in the
/// benchmark name, roughly
///
///     Utf8DecodeComplex.<polymorphism>.<conversion>.<data>.<complexity>.10k
///
/// ### Complexity
///
/// The input complexity is explored by having input sequences that are the
/// UTF-8 encoding of (1) ASCII strings ('ascii'), (2) strings that can be
/// represented by one-byte strings ('1byte'), and (3) strings need to be
/// represented by two-byte strings ('2byte').
///
/// Both of of these benchmarks process 10k bytes of input:
///
///     Utf8DecodeComplex.mono.simple.ascii.10k
///     Utf8DecodeComplex.mono.simple.2byte.10k
///
/// The first has ascii bytes as input, the simplest case. The second requires
/// parsing the variable-length UTF-8 code points.
///
/// ### Conversion
///
/// The conversion variations are 'simple', for a one-shot conversion of a List
/// of bytes to a string, and 'chunked' for a conversion that uses the chunked
/// conversion API to process the 10k bytes in chunks of a few hundred
/// bytes. This exercises different paths through the decoder. We would expect
/// the chuncked version to be slower, but only by a few percent.
///
/// ### Data
///
/// The type of the input is part of the benchmark name. When the input is a
/// modifiable `Unit8List`, there is no `.<data>` part to the name. Otherwise:
///
///     .list  - Input is a system List (`List.of`)
///     .unmodifiable - Input is an ummodifiable `Uint8List`.
///
/// ### Polymorphism
///
/// Polymorphism is explored by compiling several programs that run different
/// subsets of the benchmarks.
///
/// Whole-program optimizing compilers like AOT or dart2js can sometimes 'see'
/// that the conversion code is called with a single implementation of List and
/// optimize the code accordingly. This can produce faster code, but might be
/// too optimistic as prediction of real-world performance.
///
/// These two benchmarks run the same code, on a `Uint8List` containing the same
/// values. Other than the name, the benchmarks are identical:
///
///     Utf8DecodeComplex.mono.simple.ascii.10k
///     Utf8DecodeComplex.poly.simple.ascii.10k
///
/// The difference is that the 'mono' benchmark is part of a program that passes
/// only modifiable `Uint8List` lists to `utf8.decode`, whereas the 'poly'
/// benchmark is part of a program that passes several different List
/// implementation type to `utf8.decode`, including system lists (`List.of`) and
/// and unmodifiable Uint8Lists.
///
/// There are three monomorphic entry points which are called from the `main`
/// method of an otherwise trivial program - `mainMono1`, `mainMono2` and
/// `mainMono3`.  `mainMono1` does conversions exclusively on the preferred data
/// type, `Uint8List`.  `mainMono2` does conversions exclusively on the system
/// list type (`List.of`). `mainMono3` does conversions exclusively on
/// unmodifiable `Uint8List`.
///
/// The primary program calls the `mainPoly` entry point.
///
/// Benchmark results from the different programs can be collected into a single
/// suite.
