A feature analogous to debug-embed, but for WASM? #226

My use case is that I want embed some prefabs in wasm build, but load them(as well as user-defined ones) from fs at runtime everywhere else.

What wasm runtime are you using? Does it support he WASI API. It should technically work though if it builds.

I am running in the browser.

Should probably explain my use case better.
I am building a modular synthesizer, and I need some default modules and widget prefabs to serve as examples. For the most part, I can ask the user to select a file to load, but it's bad UX to ask the user to download example for use with a web app.

So I want to bundle those examples on wasm32, but keep loading everything at runtime on native, in case the user made or downloaded some extra modules.
