This benchmark target corresponds to JuliaLang/julia/pull/46535.
method_match_cache
contains many artificially generated broadcastingoperations, that will lead to constant propagations and accompanying
method match analysis on call sites with same abstract signatures, e.g.
Tuple{typeof(convert), Type{Int64}, Int64}
Tuple{typeof(convert), Type{Float64}, Float64}
Since we currently don't cache method match result for abstract call
signatures on the level of the runtime system, we can obtain the best
performance if we cache such abstract method match results on Julia level,
that will be revived by JuliaLang/julia/pull/46535.
