In addition to --enable=jit and --enable-jit, we're going to ship --jit as a short hand of it in Ruby 2.6.0.
That's because both --enable=jit and --enable-jit are super hard to type everytime on command line, and I want make it easier to use so that many people use it. First of all, --enable=jit is accidentally added for consistency with --disable=jit and it's not added for human.
As it's a short hand, once JIT became enabled by default, the --jit option would be removed after some deprecation warning period and only --enable=jit/--disable=jit will survive. That being said, I still think having --jit as a temporary short hand is valuable for the above reasons.
