Hey Dmitiry

Speaking of the JIT. I remember berblei mentioning that the JIT =
configuration options were going to change prior to the final 8 release =
(https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/hjxlh9/jit_benchmarks_on_reallife_w=
eb_applications/fwuje8g/ =
<https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/hjxlh9/jit_benchmarks_on_reallife_w=
eb_applications/fwuje8g/>). In other words: not one value with several =
integer flags, but dedicated options for every configuration entry. Is =
this still on the roadmap?

Kind regards
Brent
