 * \brief A WebAssembly instance.

 * This class represents a WebAssembly instance, created by instantiating a
 * module. An instance is the collection of items exported by the module, which
 * can be accessed through the `Store` that owns the instance.
 *
 * 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 `Instance`. Note that if the wrong
 * `Store` is passed in then the process will be aborted.

   * \param imports the list of imports to use to instantiate the module
   *
   * This `imports` parameter is expected to line up 1:1 with the imports
   * required by the `m`. The type of `m` can be inspected to determine in which
   * order to provide the imports. Note that this is a relatively low-level API
   * and it's generally recommended to use `Linker` instead for name-based
   * instantiation.
   *
   * This function can return an error if any of the `imports` have the wrong
   * type, or if the wrong number of `imports` is provided.
