No. I suspect it would require a complete redesign and rewrite of the
library (which is written in C, as I guess you already know). That won't
ever be done by me as I am now retired. I will continue to maintain PCRE
for a while, but I do not see myself doing any major development of any
kind, let along a radical re-write such as that.
Would JIT support *really* give better performance? PCRE doesn't take
very long to compile a regex, and you have the advantage of discovering
any syntax errors before you start to try to match anything.
