+ Enable JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler support.
+
+ Just-in-time compiling is a heavyweight optimization that can greatly
+ speed up pattern matching. However, it comes at the cost of extra
+ processing before the match is performed, so it is of most benefit when
+ the same pattern is going to be matched many times. This does not
+ necessarily mean many calls of a matching function; if the pattern is
+ not anchored, matching attempts may take place many times at various
+ positions in the subject, even for a single call. Therefore, if the
+ subject string is very long, it may still pay to use JIT even for
+ one-off matches. JIT support is available for all of the 8-bit, 16-bit
+ and 32-bit PCRE2 libraries and adds about 100KB to the resulting
+ libpcre2.so. JIT support applies only to the traditional Perl-compatible
+ matching function. It does not apply when the DFA matching function is
+ being used.
+
+ Enabling this option can give an about 10x performance increase on JIT
+ operations. It can be desireable for e.g. high performance Apache
+ mod_rewrite or HA-Proxy reqrep operations.
+
+ However, JIT should _only_ be enabled on architectures that are supported.
+ Enabling JIT on unsupported platforms will result in a compilation
+ failure. A list of supported architectures can be found here:
