alexcrichton transferred Issue #588:

"Heap" is a pretty generic term, but Cranelift's Heap is a very specific construct. What if we renamed Cranelift's "Heap" to "LinearMemory", since it's essentially a WebAssembly linear memory with a few more knobs exposed?

And perhaps we could shorten it to "linearmem" in some places, so that heap_addr would be linearmem_addr. Or maybe linmem_addr? Or maybe linear_addr?
