Thread: Fix a couple of typos in JIT

Hi,

I was just looking over the JIT code and noticed a few comment and
documentation typos.  The attached fixes them.

I'll push this in my UTC+12 morning if nobody objects to any of the
changes before then.

Unsure if it'll be worth backpatching or not.

The first change does not seem to be correct:

-That this is done at query execution time, possibly even only in cases
-where the relevant task is done a number of times, makes it JIT,
-rather than ahead-of-time (AOT). Given the way JIT compilation is used
-in PostgreSQL, the lines between interpretation, AOT and JIT are
-somewhat blurry.

The original sentence may not be the most shining example of
sentence-ry, but it is correct, and removing the "That" breaks it.

Oh, I see. I missed that. Perhaps it would be better changed to "The
fact that this"

Or maybe even:

    This is JIT, rather than ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation, because it
    is done at query execution time, and perhaps only in cases where the
    relevant task is repeated a number of times. Given the way …

That made me laugh ;)

David, sounds good, after adapting to Abhijit's concerns.
