+/// Structure used to link wasm modules/instances together.
+///
+/// This structure is used to assist in instantiating a [`Module`]. A [`Linker`]
+/// is a way of performing name resolution to make instantiating a module easier
+/// than specifying positional imports to [`Instance::new`]. [`Linker`] is a
+/// name-based resolver where names are dynamically defined and then used to
+/// instantiate a [`Module`].
+///
+/// An important method is [`Linker::instantiate`] which takes a module to
+/// instantiate into the provided store. This method will automatically select
+/// all the right imports for the [`Module`] to be instantiated, and will
+/// otherwise return an error if an import isn't satisfied.
+///
+/// ## Name Resolution
+///
+/// As mentioned previously, `Linker` is a form of name resolver. It will be
+/// using the string-based names of imports on a module to attempt to select a
+/// matching item to hook up to it. This name resolution has two-levels of
+/// namespaces, a module level and a name level. Each item is defined within a
+/// module and then has its own name. This basically follows the wasm standard
+/// for modularization.
+///
+/// Names in a `Linker` cannot be defined twice, but allowing duplicates by
+/// shadowing the previous definition can be controlled with the
+/// [`Linker::allow_shadowing`] method.
+///
+/// ## Commands and Reactors
+///
+/// The [`Linker`] type provides conveniences for working with WASI Commands and
+/// Reactors through the [`Linker::module`] method. This will automatically
+/// handle instantiation and calling `_start` and such as appropriate
+/// depending on the inferred type of module.
+///
+/// ## Type parameter `T`
+///
+/// It's worth pointing out that the type parameter `T` on [`Linker<T>`] does
+/// not represent that `T` is stored within a [`Linker`]. Rather the `T` is used
+/// to ensure that linker-defined functions and stores instantiated into all use
+/// the same matching `T` as host state.
+///
+/// ## Multiple `Store`s
+///
+/// The [`Linker`] type is designed to be compatible, in some scenarios, with
+/// instantiation in multiple [`Store`]s. Specifically host-defined functions
+/// created in [`Linker`] with [`Linker::func_new`], [`Linker::func_wrap`], and
+/// their async versions are compatible to instantiate into any [`Store`]. This
+/// enables programs which want to instantiate lots of modules to create one
+/// [`Linker`] value at program start up and use that continuously for each
+/// [`Store`] created over the lifetime of the program.
+///
+/// Note that once [`Store`]-owned items, such as [`Global`], are defined within
+/// a [`Linker`] then it is no longer compatible with any [`Store`]. At that
+/// point only the [`Store`] that owns the [`Global`] can be used to instantiate
+/// modules.
+///
+/// ## Multiple `Engine`s
+///
+/// The [`Linker`] type is not compatible with usage between multiple [`Engine`]
+/// values. An [`Engine`] is provided when a [`Linker`] is created and only
+/// stores and items which originate from that [`Engine`] can be used with this
+/// [`Linker`]. If more than one [`Engine`] is used with a [`Linker`] then that
+/// may cause a panic at runtime, similar to how if a [`Func`] is used with the
+/// wrong [`Store`] that can also panic at runtime.
+///
+/// [`Store`]: crate::Store
+/// [`Global`]: crate::Global
