String literal section text format

In WebAssembly/binaryen#4768 (comment) the question regarding a text format for the string literal section came up. I see one good argument to optionally include the section in the text format as an alternative to (conveniently) folding the contents into string.const "the literal"
, that is (exact) round-trips to preserve section contents even if those are not referenced by a string.const
instruction, which also might, after optimizations, lead to changes in ordering. As a format, I imagine
(strings
(string "the literal")
)
where string.const
in the text format can use either string.const 0
or string.const "the literal"
, similar to the type section. Does that sound good? :)
