Considering that all major [evergreen] browsers support it, what are the use cases for something like this? Adding support to IE? A starting point for polyfilling future versions of WASM?

Fair question. WebAssembly's browser support is indeed already pretty good, as I understand it.

Might be useful for old versions of IE, I suppose.

Lots of corporate desktops are still running IE11 on Windows 7, and they won't upgrade until they absolutely have to.
