 * `--instantiation [mode]`: Instead of a direct ES module, export an `instantiate` function which can take the imports as an argument instead of implicit imports. The `instantiate` function can be async (with `--instantiation` or `--instantiation async`), or sync (with `--instantiation sync`).
 * `--valid-lifting-optimization`: Internal validations are removed assuming that core Wasm binaries are valid components, providing a minor output size saving.
 * `--tracing`: Emit tracing calls for all function entry and exits.
+* `--no-namespaced-exports`: Removes exports of the type `test as "test:flavorful/test"` which are not compatible with typescript
