   @jeme 
   
   Thanks, you were correct in that the original issue was lacking some context, and I have added more information to better explain the task.
   
   The `Lucene.Net.Benchmark` project was designed to work either as a library that users can extend or as an executable that can just be run. The issue crops up in the latter case where we need some sort of a "plug in" architecture so the end user can supply their own assembly to run it against. Java has a native feature to do this, but .NET does not.

   Although I think that we should look into leveraging BenchmarkDotNet for Lucene.Net.Benchmark at some point, the current incarnation is just a line-by-line port from Java. The Lucene.Net.Benchmark project uses a DSL to control the configuration of a benchmark, including strings that are meant for loading external types.
   
   Since the commands are essentially run-once I don't believe there will be any issues with "unloading" to worry about.
