Hm, this is interesting because in the long term we plan to have stack 
switching in wasm, which could allow for similar async behavior that JSPI has, 
and could be useful in non-web systems. But that's a ways off. The file format 
we are generating with this CL will be used in emscripten sooner (and we may 
want to try to stabilize it some point, possibly before pure wasm stack 
switching is usable in non-web systems).
So overall I kind of feel like I could go either way on this. Curious if 
@sunfish has had any thoughts about async outside of emscripten.
