Topic: Flags as bigints

I've posted an issue for having flags as BigInts in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/jco/issues/260.

I'd like to try and get this in within the preview2 stabilization timeframe so we have stable API conventions. If there is any further feedback on the topic, please let me know!

Implement flags as bigint integers · Issue #260 · bytecodealliance/jco
This one comes out of discussion with @dbaeumer on the base-level type implementations. Currently we implement flags as an object of bools, the suggestion would be switch to implementing all flags ...

@Guy Bedford are we sure this should be in the critical path? The window on that is closing soon; and my understanding is that the only requirement we have is that we can prove we can pass all conformance tests - not that we're ready to freeze the mapping of WIT -> JS?

I'm not like, trying to disagree we shouldn't do this. But I'm questioning whether we should do this over, say, finalizing our wasi-http bindings?

@Yoshua Wuyts that's a good question, but I think having stable bindgen is important and should be completed while we are on this, especially since it does directly affect the user-facing API stability. It's also not a big thing - couple of hours at most. I appreciate your concern wrt timelines though.

oki; I'll trust your judgement on this ^^
