I would personally prefer to keep imported functions having the signature Result<T, Trap> instead of anyhow::Error as the error payload. That feels more closely aligned with the wasm spec and avoids us having weird questions about how to interpret various kinds of errors from imported functions. (to me it feels pretty straightforward that returning any sort of "trap" results in a wasm trap immediately)
Could this instead be extended to avoid special-casing on proc_exit and changing the error type? Perhaps Trap could have a new constructor representing "wasm exited" or something like that? Basically I'm thinking we could soup up the Trap type to have more information inside it, and one of the variants of information is "the program requested an exit". That way the trap could propagate all the way up to the wasmtime CLI, which could catch the error, and then exit the process accordingly. The worst-case scenario would be handling the trap as a usual wasm trap, which typically results in killing the wasm anyway right now.

This seems a bit odd to me, why not expose exiting with all sorts of error codes on Windows?

(or put another way I don't fully understand the comment as to why Windows is special here)

I don't have a strong sense of what Windows wants here; I just didn't want to overload exit status 3 as meaning both "program trapped" and "program explicitly exited with status 3".
Am I reading too much into the docs by assuming that using 3 for an abort is a meaningful convention?
This implements the semantics in WebAssembly/WASI#235. Fixes bytecodealliance#783. Fixes bytecodealliance#993.

This allows programs which call
proc_exitto coexist with other programs in the same host process. This also implements the semantics in WebAssembly/WASI#235.Fixes #783.
Fixes #993.
