Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I was today year old when I noticed that compiler explorer does support numba.
However, I also noticed that it only has one version of numba only and no matrix for pairs of python and numba versions.
People in the python community will often write functions in python and compile them with numba in order to avoid writing a more "painful" to make extension (in c, c++, rust, or whatever) and make python bindings.
But maybe they want to see how optimized the assembly of numba is versus a native extension or compare between numba versions.

### Describe the solution you'd like

Add more numba versions and also combinations of numba versions with python versions because numba compiles python bytecode and that changes between python versions.

### Describe alternatives you've considered

Someone just does it locally if they want and does not use compiler explorer.
