I imagine he's learned the hard way by now but no, it uses posix 
names but its all a lie and you need coordination between html js 
and your code to even consider reading a file "correctly" and I 
believe all the different places where wasm can be require 
slightly different hacks to make it work.

Its probably a bad idea to turn on whatever features as they will 
just be broken or worse, pretending to work until you implement 
something that actually uses it then youll play wack a mole for a 
long time and lets be honest your not going to find a full time 
wasm to even attempt to keep up with w3c's bullshit, much less 
make it nice and worth using, the least responsible standards 
committy on earth may just drop a years worth of work every 3 
months for some rust "feature" no other language even understands.
