Description
According to
https://github.com/WebAssembly/wabt/issues/2530
the work on the GC proposal is currently not in the main branch.
The help text of wat2wasm lists the flag --enable-gc anyways,
since all tools shares the same set of options.
For wat2wasm this flag thus have no effect.
Either the flag should not be listed for wat2wasm in the help text
or there should a text explaining that it currently has no effect.

Research direction
Start by running wat2wasm --help and compare its options with the shared tool options described in the issue. Check issue #2530 for the GC proposal status; done means the help output no longer misleadingly presents --enable-gc, either by omitting it or explaining that it currently has no effect.
