Would it make sense for the wasi crate to have specialized (per-world) macros for defining exports? These would wrap wit-bindgen::generate with appropriate exports:, with:, etc.

I believe @Alex Crichton is planning to make the macros-generating-macros story easier by overhauling wit-bindgen-rust's resources as well

Yoshua Wuyts (Feb 28 2024 at 19:35):

rust: Revert back to historical way of exporting functions by alexcrichton · Pull Request #871 · bytecodealliance/wit-bindgen
