How do I save benchmark results from BenchmarkTools? In the REPL, just typing the variable gives a nice looking report. If I try to output to a file (using println or show), it gives the short single-line form…

```julia
julia> b
BenchmarkTools.Trial: 
  memory estimate: 153.16 MiB
  allocs estimate: 1002737
  --------------
  minimum time: 164.029 ms (5.97% GC)
  median time: 266.091 ms (40.97% GC)
  mean time: 262.904 ms (32.59% GC)
  maximum time: 411.212 ms (45.30% GC)
  --------------
  samples: 5
  evals/sample: 1

julia> show(b)
Trial(164.029 ms)

```

The REPL display is apparently equivalent to

```julia
show(STDOUT,MIME"text/plain"(),b)

```

which should generalize to other files.
