Subject: HACKING: use "just-ahead-of-time" to describe Inline::C

HACKING: use "just-ahead-of-time" to describe Inline::C

Inline::C works during module load time, so "just-ahead-of-time"
is a better description of it than "just-in-time".  I don't
think "JAOT" is a well-known enough acronym, so it's worth
spelling it out.

 Avoid relying on compiled modules too much.  Even if it is Free,
 compiled code makes packages more expensive to audit, build,

 Do not recurse on user-supplied data.  Neither Perl or C handle
 deep recursion gracefully.  See lib/PublicInbox/SearchThread.pm
