Cool stuff. I recently picked up my wasm forks again and updated 
to wasi 12, ldc 1.25.0 and the accompanying druntime/phobos 
versions and got all tests to pass (those that I didn't version 
out). I am currently in the process of updating to latest ldc and 
latest druntime/phobos. Phobos has a bunch of merge conflicts, 
but it should be doable if I find a few hours.

Then there is the process of upstreaming a 5000+ line patch and I 
probably need some help there. I reckon the WASI bindings are 
pretty standalone so those should be easy to add, but there is a 
sprawl of additions across almost all files due to not supporting 
threads, fibers and catching exceptions.
