Description
After merging https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/pull/9917, side modules should access exported functions from the main module thru the Module["asm"] property to speed up execution. However, the export JS stubs are still generated e.g.
```javascript
var ___mainy = Module["___mainy "] = function() {
return Module["asm"]["___mainy "].apply(null, arguments);
};
```
Removing these stubs (except the initalizers) can reduce the size of my JS file by around 50% as I have a large number of exports so I would definitely like to give it a try. However, I see that after removing these stubs, the exported wasm functions are also removed from the wasm module by wasm-metadce.
@kripken and @sbc100, is there a way to keep these exported functions in the wasm module after running wasm-metadce irrespective of whether the corresponding JS stubs exist? Thanks.
