Description
It seems the current working directory is /, in ruby.wasm. By default this appears
to be empty - I tried via Dir['*'].
I also don't seem to be able to create anything, or read from files.
I'd love to be able to do both, but reading from a file is more important. My initial
idea was to "componentize" my smaller gems into Strings that can be evaluated
via ruby.wasm. But if I can not read any file or find them then this strategy does
not work.
Is there a way to query a file's content still? Even javascript has that option available
at the least if you e. g. place a .js file onto the webserver and then load it locally.
Right now I am not sure how to do this via ruby.wasm which kind of limits the way
I can use it. At any rate, thank you for reading this.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by tracing how ruby.wasm exposes WASI filesystem access and how Dir['*'] behaves in the current working directory; determine the supported read and create semantics. Done means the issue's file-access expectations are implemented and covered by appropriate tests or clearly documented limitations.
