Research direction
Start by reading the issue's comparison between existing memory instructions and regular array instructions. No files, tests, or entry points are identified; the work is not complete until the design and required behavior for loading and storing 8-bit array elements are defined.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
If we end up reusing the existing memory instructions and only allow i8 arrays there will be some overlap with the regular array instructions. e.g.
i32.store8 (type $i8_array) will effectively be the same as array.set
and likewise for loads
i32.load8_s (type $i8_array) will effectively be the same as array.get_s
i32.load8_u (type $i8_array) will effectively be the same as array.get_u
