Description
The current proposal for the extension of the memory abbreviation does not take into consideration the memory64 feature and the existence of an addrtype:
The memory abbreviation is extended to allow an optional page size as well:
'(' 'memory' id? mempagesize? '(' 'data' b_n:datastring ')' ')' === ...
Is mempagesize? supposed to be before or after addrtype? ?
