Description
I'm reading https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen/wiki/binaryen.js-API and I noticed literally none of the SIMD types available (available in the latest version on npm) are documented. Could this be resolved so I'm not just making educated guesses based on the existing types and the instructions themselves?
I obviously couldn't do it myself - if I did, I likely wouldn't be filing this issue.

Research direction
Start with the binaryen.js API wiki page and compare its documented types and instructions with the latest Binaryen npm API, focusing on the missing SIMD entries. Review how the existing API documentation is organized, then document all available SIMD types and instructions. Done means users can find the SIMD API without inferring it from other types or instructions.
