+QF_NIA_small

+Others we should try:

+Certora
+QF_ABV
+QF_UFBV
+QF_AUFBV (or whatever it is called)
+QF_UFLIA (might be too small)

+push more instances from smtlib.org benchmarks into z3-poly-testing/inputs or upload tgz files directly in setup.

+## Naming conventions and basic parameters
+
+The first rounds created a base-line where all features were turned off, then it created variants where one feature was turned off at a time.
+The data-point where all but one feature is turned off could tell us something if a feature has a chance of being useful in isolation.
+The following is a sample naming scheme.
