I think the feature here is talking about the wasm globals themselves, but "managed" initially made me think it might be talking about the objects they reference, which in a browser context especially are "managed" in every sense of the word.
Fair point. What does everyone think about `INDEXED`, because it is used to represent objects given static indexes (in the WebAssembly sense) in the final binary.
