Description

I am not entirely sure if this is an actualy use-case that makes sense, as I do have limited experience with WASM. I mostly write in Rust.

Pointer dereference safety is probably something that shouldn't be a concern inside of WASM. And I am not sure how much value the buffer overflow safety has in WASM, as it's not affected by [DEP and SSP attacks](https://webassembly.org/docs/security/).

It's worth noting that the C code can also be transpiled into WASM using toolchains.

I just wanted to throw the idea out :)
