Hi,

Quick notes:

It's currently not yet compilation of entire plans, but only parts. I
think that's a relevant distinction because I'd like to add that as a
feature to v12 ;). How about just adding 'parts of' or such?  I'd also
rephrase the plan and 'run by the executor a bit'. How about:

  Add Just-In-Time (<acronym>JIT</acronym>) compilation of parts of
  queries, to accelerate their execution.

I wonder if we shouldn't omit those, considering them part of the JIT
entry?  Not quite sure what our policy there is.
