Description
There is some support for the GC proposal in wabt already behind a flag, but it predates the current design for the proposal (that recently went to phase 2) that includes new type constructs like rec, sub, and so on.
Now that the design is more stable, it could be a good time to catch up support in wabt. I'm interested in working on this if nobody already has patches in progress.
