 * is no type information and no checks that the right types of values are
 * produced. The onus is on the consumer of this API to ensure that all

 * * If a trap doesn't happen then all results are written to the results
 *   pointer. All results must have the correct type.
 * * Types such as `funcref` cannot cross stores.
 * * Types such as `externref` have valid reference counts.
 *
 * It's generally only recommended to use this if your application can wrap
 * this in a safe embedding. This should not be frequently used due to the
 * number of invariants that must be upheld on the wasm<->host boundary. On the
 * upside, though, this flavor of host function will be faster to call than
 * those created by #wasmtime_func_new (hence the reason for this function's

 * has an appropriate size and all the parameters are configured with their
 * appropriate values/types. Additionally all the results must be interpreted
 * correctly if this function returns successfully.
