The new `maybe ... end` looks nice.

...with JIT support for ARM processors, which is quite interesting.

* The JIT now works for 64-bit ARM processors, including M1

* The JIT now does type-based optimizations based on type information in the BEAM files.

I think the focus has been more on comparing the JIT'd code vs the unJIT'd previous VM approach and looking at the speedups.
