 * candidate that formulation's own variable forces, or -1 to measure all N of
 * them. So NEKO_AUTOTUNE narrows the search to one kernel family without
 * deciding the geometry within it, which is still swept and reported.
 *
 * An out of play formulation yields an empty range, leaving its candidates at
 * NEKO_TUNE_INIT so it loses the comparison at the end rather than having to
