     **A** It's a good practice to introduce an additional console application (e.g. `MyAwesomeLibrary.Benchmarks`) which will depend on your code and BenchmarkDotNet.
 Due to the fact that users usually run benchmarks in a develop environment and don't distribute benchmarks for users, it shouldn't be a problem.
