I think my question is different, though it may be irrelevant if there's 
something about LC's Emscripten-generated JS lib that makes this unworkable:

I'm seeing a growing number of JS->WASM converters out there, seemingly 
designed to replace a JS lib with a WASM version that is functionally 
identical, just smaller and faster.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried this with the generated JS version of 
the LC engine.
