Just as I suspected that this will happen eventually. I originally proposed a
common JIT compiler for all modes, since the code is the same in all cases, and
currently the same binary is stored 3 times. But people said that this is adds
an unnecessary complexity to the library (since it requires another, shared
library), and I abandoned this idea.
Adding an error checking mechanism could help, but it would be an unecessary
overhead in most cases.
