[Shootout-list] Least Common Denominator benchmark

[Brandon J. Van Every]

I think "Least Common Denominator benchmark" is a perfectly good name
for a default Shootout scoring system.  Such a name would offset its
elevated status as the default.  And, it's an accurate name.  It
embodies the design goal of testing all languages on a level playing
field.

A PHB might peruse the Shootout and find:

- the Least Common Denominator benchmark
- the Garbage Collection benchmark
- the Concurrency benchmark

Then she might select the one most appropriate to her project.  Or if
she can't figure that out, her lead programmer might set her straight on
it.
