The `wasm-bindgen` tool also emits a few other files needed to implement this
module. For example `js_hello_world_bg.wasm` is the original wasm file but
postprocessed a bit. It's intended that the `js_hello_world_bg.wasm` file,
like before, acts like an ES6 module. The `js_hello_world.wasm` file, for
example, uses `import` to import functionality from the other `*_shims` file
generated (an internal implementation detail here).
Note that you can also pass a `--nodejs` argument to `wasm-bindgen` for emitting
Node-compatible JS as well as a `--typescript` argument to emit a `*.d.ts` file
describing the exported contents.

At this point you'll probably plug these files into a larger build system.

All of these constructs currently create relatively straightforward code on the
JS side of things, mostly having a 1:1 match in Rust with JS.
## CLI Reference
The `wasm-bindgen` tool has a number of options available to it to tweak the JS
that is generated. By default the generated JS uses ES modules and is compatible
with both Node and browsers (but will likely require a bundler for both use
cases).
Supported flags of the CLI tool can be learned via `wasm-bindgen --help`, but
some notable options are:
* `--nodejs` - this flag will tailor output for Node instead of browsers,
allowing for native usage of `require` of the generated JS and internally
using `require` instead of ES modules. When using this flag no further
postprocessing (aka a bundler) should be necessary to work with the wasm.
* `--browser` - this flag will tailor the output specifically for browsers,
making it incompatible with Node. This will basically make the generated JS a
tiny bit smaller as runtime checks for Node won't be necessary.
* `--typescript` - when passed a `*.d.ts` file will be generated for the
generated JS file. This should allow hooking into TypeScript projects to
ensure everything still typechecks.
* `--debug` - generates a bit more JS and wasm in "debug mode" to help catch
programmer errors, but this output isn't intended to be shipped to production
