# Benchmark: Dict{String,Any} vs Type-Stable Field Storage
#
# This benchmark validates the performance claims in:
# docs/book/zero_allocation_fields.md
#
# Expected results:
# - Constant field access: 50× faster, 0 allocations
# - Nodal field access: 50× faster, 0 allocations
# - Interpolation: 16× faster with zero allocations (cached)
