In bench: High Precision Timing of R Expressions

#' Run setup code and benchmarks across a grid of parameters
#'
#' @description
#' `press()` is used to run [bench::mark()] across a grid of parameters and
#' then _press_ the results together.
#'
#' The parameters you want to set are given as named arguments and a grid of
#' all possible combinations is automatically created.
#'
#' The code to setup and benchmark is given by one unnamed expression (often
#' delimited by `\{`).
#'
#' If replicates are desired a dummy variable can be used, e.g. `rep = 1:5` for
#' replicates.
#'
#' @param ... If named, parameters to define, if unnamed the expression to run.
#'   Only one unnamed expression is permitted.
#' @param .grid A pre-built grid of values to use, typically a [data.frame] or
#'   [tibble]. This is useful if you only want to benchmark a subset of all
#'   possible combinations.
