Details

Baldr uses implicit "first" nodes in its AST representation of wasm to represent stack-machine code which doesn't otherwise fit the AST structure. The experimental text format currently renders these as "first(x, y, z)" (which is a node that evaluates x, y, and z, and then returns the value of x). However, it may be easier to read if we printed them as a kind of "let" expression, something like "(let tmp = x; y; z; tmp)" or so.
Marking P3 for now. I don't know how fast we want this. If this should definitely get in in this release, please mark as P1. If the deadline is the next train, please mark P2.

We don't do text rendering of wasm modules in Gecko itself (the debugger does it for us now).
