Description
We are currently using two different sets of wit documents to define the guest's and the host's view of the spin "world". This is mainly because the guest is using an old version of wit-bindgen (which will be fixed in #1424) where the wit grammar is significantly different than the latest versions.
Ideally these two definitions would be semantically exactly the same, but alas they are not. The host definitions deal with an interface called "config" while the guests require an imported interface called "spin-config". spin-componentize has smoothed over this discrepancy, but in the future it would be ideal if we didn't have to worry about this difference at all.
