+Imports
+~~~~~~~

+By default no undefined symbols are allowed in the final binary.  The flag
+``--allow-undefined`` results in a WebAssembly import being defined for each
+undefined symbol.  It is then up to the runtime to provide such symbols.
+
+Alternativly symbols can be marked in the source code as with the
+``import_name`` and/or ``import_module`` clang attributes which signals that
+they are expected to be undefined at static link time.
