Just a general remark: I am not sure what Camillo's opinion is, but he had a
substantial part in SMark, and if you need to mention names, he should
certainly be included.

I think you would rather want something like:
SMarkSuite class >> #runOnly: aSymbol
"aSymbol should refer to a benchmark method.
Example:
SMarkLoops runOnly: #benchFloatLoop
"
^ self defaultRunner execute: (self new runOnly: aSymbol)

Yes. It is a hint for the VM or bytecode transformation that this methods does
not need to be subject to the metaobject protocol.
Since it does not really hurt, I did not spend the effort to keep it out of
SMark.
