//! Small example of how to serialize compiled wasm module to the disk,
//! and then instantiate it from the compilation artifacts.

// You can execute this example with `cargo run --example serialize`

    // `Store` structure. Note that you can also tweak configuration settings
    // with a `Config` and an `Engine` if desired.
