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. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
