add a tree-like system to run sets of benchmarks

A system a bit similar to `OUnit`, with the ability to select only a subset of the benchmarks to run them. As each benchmark can take a significant time, it is convenient to be able to run only the ones that are relevant to some function, say, if we are trying to improve this function's performance.

There is also a small patch to `_oasis` because it wouldn't compile with a recent version of `oasis` otherwise. 
I like the suggestion about `>:`, but `mk_list` is fine in that it actually merges the trees into one. If even leaves are named, we keep the ability to name the path to any leaf.
