*This is a work in progress that is not currently functional, but under active development.*

Goals include:
 - Be a general-purpose engine for running WebAssembly code [outside of browsers].
 - Support a variety of host APIs with fast calling sequences.
 - Prototype syscall APIs that can be proposed for use in the WebAssembly
   [Reference Sysroot](https://github.com/WebAssembly/reference-sysroot).
 - Facilitate testing, experimentation, and development around the [Cranelift] and
   [Lightbeam] JITs.
 - Develop a the native ABI used for compiling WebAssembly suitable for use in
   both JIT and AOT to native object files.
