I agree. In some email threads Andres has been using "JIT" as a verb,
too, such as "JITing expressions" and such; that's a bit shocking, in a
way. Honestly I don't care in a pgsql-hackers thread, I mean we all
understand what it means, but in user-facing docs and things we should
use complete words, "JIT-compile", "JIT-compilation", "JIT-compiling"
and so on.
