Re: jit interface and jit reader

[Tony Simpson <agjasimpson@gmail.com>]

Hi Frank,

I'm glad it was useful. Regarding upstreaming I don't remember why but I
gave up. One of the commits on that branch adds some tests which might be
useful for getting it upstreamed.

I'm happy to help if you need it to get things upstreamed.

Kind  regards,

Tony
