Mostly the fact that it's operating on a separate timer, but one
that is directly correlated to jit-lock-context-time.  So
the bookkeeping and the coalescing of the small+large
jit chunks should be provided by the jit infrastructure instead. And
then no extra timer or logic would be needed.  Can we make jit-lock.el
a :core ELPA package?
