 * \brief A WebAssembly global.
 *
 * This class represents a WebAssembly global, either created through
 * instantiating a module or a host global. Globals contain a WebAssembly value
 * and can be read and optionally written to.
 *
 * Note that this type does not itself own any resources. It points to resources
 * owned within a `Store` and the `Store` must be passed in as the first
 * argument to the functions defined on `Global`. Note that if the wrong `Store`
 * is passed in then the process will be aborted.
