+/**
+ * BEYOND THE POST — the decision table, measured.
+ *
+ * The post ends with a table claiming data binding "loads full object", tree model
+ * "loads full tree", and streaming uses "constant" memory. This generates a real
+ * file and measures all three so the table has numbers behind it.
+ *
+ * These are indicative single-shot measurements on one JVM, not JMH benchmarks —
+ * the ordering is the point, not the absolute figures.
