Added inital docstring explaining the motivation. The term `jit` is not the right term for this decorator because we are not using JIT (=Just In Time) compilation, but rather AOT (=Ahead of Time) compilation, at runtime from CPython. The term `lpython` is better, as it conveys that we are using LPython to compile the function (ahead of time). It is also consistent with the @CPython decorator.
