That maybe true of current implementations but the design docs[0] appear to suggest that you will be able to import platform features in WebAssembly.

Could you enlighten us about this? Is this something to do with the eternal C++ modules proposal that never seems to make it into a standard?
The thing that comes to my mind when I hear "versioned modules" and "C++" is the way you can use "versioned" namespace re-exports to avoid ABI breakage, like so:
// header for version 1 of library
namespace mylib {
namespace v1 {
struct Foo {
int num_apples;
};
}
using namespace v1;
}
// header for version 2 of library
namespace mylib {
namespace v1 {
class Foo {
int num_apples;
};
}
namespace v2 {
class Foo {
int num_apples;
int num_bananas;
};
}
using namespace v2;
}
