- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: Invokes the block with a <tt>Benchmark::Report</tt> object, which may be used to collect and report on the results of individual benchmark tests. Reserves <em>label_width</em> leading spaces for labels on each line. Prints <em>caption</em> at the top of the report, and uses <em>fmt</em> to format each line. If the block returns an array of <tt>Benchmark::Tms</tt> objects, these will be used to format additional lines of output. If <em>label</em> parameters are given, these are used to label these extra lines.

  body: "<em>Note</em>: Other methods provide a simpler interface to this one, and are suitable for nearly all benchmarking requirements. See the examples in Benchmark, and the #bm and #bmbm methods."
