Topic: Adding a new control vernacular using a plugin

@Janno and I wanted to add a new "control vernacular" (not sure about the name, I'm referring to stuff like Time or Succeed) via a plugin. In particular, is there an easy way to run a vernacular wrapped under such a new command from a plugin?

I don't think so

You can't.
What is the "control" about?

"control" is what we call Time, Fail etc

in the code

I mean, which new control operator do you need, @Rodolphe Lepigre ?

We were gonna add something similar to Time but that gives you an instruction count (using C bindings to the Linux perf API).

Ideally with an option to repeat the measurement several times to get a somewhat statistically significant result.

For example, we would like to do stuff like Perf 10 Qed which would basically run Succeed Qed 10 times, and print a report on instruction count usage at the end.
