Thank you all for your feedback.  The only real problem that people seem to 
have with jit.pm, is really the name.

I therefore propose to change the name to "subs.pm".  I realize there is a 
subs pragma already, but I think I can make it work both in the old and the 
new format (with minimal breakage if someone happens to have specified only 
subroutine names that are keywords in the new format).

   use subs 'now';
   use subs 'ondemand';

Seems natural to me.


Would that be an idea?  Or does someone have an even better name than "jit" 
or "subs" ?
