| Introduction |
| ============ |
| |
| This document defines a generic mechanism for attaching arbitrary metadata to WebAssembly instructions. |
| Additionally, it defines specific metadata formats using this mechanism. |
| |
| Such metadata does not contribute to, or otherwise affect, the WebAssembly semantics, and may be ignored by an implementation. |
| |
| However, it can provides useful information that implementations can make use of to improve user experience or take compilation hints. |
