wasmgc is shipping. any plan for porting?
My understanding is that it requires emitting dedicated
instructions for allocating such objects, as well as dedicated
instructions for accessing them. Since LLVM doesn't support
them, I am not sure what a possible path to support should
look like, aside from writing a complete fresh backend.

llvm ir seems to have support for the reftype(gc). so it a
compiler problem?
Unsure how it's progressed since but as can be seen on the last
slide of that pdf, it's work in progress.
