Comment (by jstolarek):

 One thing I really dislike about nofib design is that for some reasons it
 checks correctness of results produced by programs. Perhaps I wouldn't
 mind if it didn't try to compare floating point values for equality. But
 still, these are benchmarks, not tests.

 Having said that here, I can now close #7968 as duplicate :-)
