Not yet really happy with how it exactly looks, but here's my current
state:

I'm not at all wedded to the current format, but I feel like that's the
basic functionality needed?

Right now the JIT bit will only be displayed if at least one JITed
function has been emitted. Otherwise we'll just create noise for
everyone.

Currently a handful of explain outputs in the regression tests change
output when compiled with JITing. Therefore I'm thinking of adding
JITINFO or such option, which can be set to false for those tests?
Maintaining duplicate output for them seems painful. Better ideas?


Greetings,
