-- [ ] If this change fixes a bug (or a performance problem), is a regression
-  test (or a benchmark) included?
-- [ ] Is a documentation update included (if this change modifies
-  existing APIs, or introduces new ones)?
+If this aims to fix a regression or you’re adding a feature, make sure you also
+write a test. Finally – if possible – a benchmark that quantifies your changes.
