+  - currently, the following benchmark suites and corresponding logging facilities are
+    supported:
     * `bbob`: standard single-objective BBOB benchmark suite with 24 noiseless,
       scalable test functions
     * `bbob-biobj`: a bi-objective benchmark suite, combining 10 selected
       functions from the bbob suite, resulting in 55 noiseless functions
-    * `bbob-biobj-ext`: an extended version of the bi-objective `bbob-biobj`
-       benchmark suite, adding `bbob` function combinations from the same
-       `bbob` function groups, resulting in 92 noiseless functions overall

+      20 to 640, employing permuted block-diagonal matrices to reduce the

+    * `bbob-mixint`: a mixed-integer version of the original `bbob` and
+      `bbob-largescale` suites in which 80% of the variables have been discretized

+      test suite with 92 functions with 80% discretized variables
