I have no objection to this going in.
In case anyone is wondering why we don't just build Neovim with LuaJIT:
- LuaJIT isn't as portable, although we could use it only for certain
arches.
- We'd have to add a LuaJIT FLAVOR to every Lua dependency. I looked at
that in the past when I was first porting Neovim and it looked
non-trivial. I don't really have the motivation for it, but I won't
object if someone else wants to try.
