Topic: wasmtime-wit-bindgen resources status

Is it accurate to say that wasmtime-wit-bindgen currently only supports host-implemented resources (i.e. the host exporting resources to the guest)? If so, is it possible to import resources from the guest by using wasmtime::component::resources directly (i.e. without binding generation), and are there any examples of doing that?
I'm working on implementing resource support in componentize-py and would like to test both directions.

Correct yeah, although supporting guest-defined resources shouldn't be too much of a leap from where it is already

For the time being, it looks like I can call the guest resource's constructor like it's a regular exported function and then expect a wasmtime::component::values::Val::Resourceto be returned. Is that currently the best/only option?

oh, I see now that ResourceAny implements ComponentType, so I can use the typed_func API

ah yeah all guest resources will be represented with ResourceAny
