Not sure what you mean. I guess this is a misunderstanding.

What I mean is that I would like something like this to work:

    code = `(
        func $add (param $a i32) (param $b i32) (result i32)
            local.get $a
            local.get $b
            i32.add
    )`;
    module = WebAssembly.compile(code);
    alert(module.add(3, 5)); // alerts "8".

The WebAssembly reference interpreter [0] has a JS library that lets you do this.

    let wast = require("./wast.js");
    let binary = wast.WebAssemblyText.encode("(module)");

Which you can get by making use of binaren.js library already, so you won't get any browser vendor love to include the feature into the browsers directly.
