/// representation. Instead you'll need to create an
/// [`Instance`](crate::Instance) to interact with the wasm module.
///
/// Creating a `Module` currently involves compiling code, meaning that it can
/// be an expensive operation. All `Module` instances are compiled according to
/// the configuration in [`Config`], but typically they're JIT-compiled. If
/// you'd like to instantiate a module multiple times you can do so with
/// compiling the original wasm module only once with a single [`Module`]
/// instance.
///
/// ## Modules and `Clone`
///
/// Using `clone` on a `Module` is a cheap operation. It will not create an
/// entirely new module, but rather just a new reference to the existing module.
/// In other words it's a shallow copy, not a deep copy.
///
/// ## Examples
///
/// There are a number of ways you can create a `Module`, for example pulling
/// the bytes from a number of locations. One example is loading a module from
/// the filesystem:
///
/// ```no_run
/// # use wasmtime::*;
/// # fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
/// let store = Store::default();
/// let module = Module::from_file(&store, "path/to/foo.wasm")?;
/// # Ok(())
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// You can also load the wasm text format if more convenient too:
///
/// ```no_run
/// # use wasmtime::*;
/// # fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
/// let store = Store::default();
/// // Now we're using the WebAssembly text extension: `.wat`!
/// let module = Module::from_file(&store, "path/to/foo.wat")?;
/// # Ok(())
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// And if you've already got the bytes in-memory you can use the
/// [`Module::new`] constructor:
///
/// ```no_run
/// # use wasmtime::*;
/// # fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
/// let store = Store::default();
/// # let wasm_bytes: Vec<u8> = Vec::new();
/// let module = Module::new(&store, &wasm_bytes)?;
///
/// // It also works with the text format!
/// let module = Module::new(&store, "(module (func))")?;
/// # Ok(())
