/**
 * \brief Instantiate a wasm module.
 *
 * This function will instantiate a WebAssembly module with the provided
 * imports, creating a WebAssembly instance. The returned instance can then
 * afterwards be inspected for exports.
 *
 * \param store the store in which to create the instance
 * \param module the module that's being instantiated
 * \param imports the imports provided to the module
 * \param nimports the size of `imports`
 * \param instance where to store the returned instance
 * \param trap where to store the returned trap
 *
 * This function requires that `imports` is the same size as the imports that
 * `module` has. Additionally the `imports` array must be 1:1 lined up with the
 * imports of the `module` specified. This is intended to be relatively low
 * level, and #wasmtime_linker_instantiate is provided for a more ergonomic
 * name-based resolution API.
 *
 * The states of return values from this function are similar to
 * #wasmtime_func_call where an error can be returned meaning something like a
 * link error in this context. A trap can be returned (meaning no error or
 * instance is returned), or an instance can be returned (meaning no error or
 * trap is returned).
 *
 * Note that this function requires that all `imports` specified must be owned
 * by the `store` provided as well.
 *
 * This function does not take ownership of any of its arguments, but all return
 * values are owned by the caller.
