Is there any plans to merge resulting app executable with skiko.wasm to perform DCE and decrease final app size?

*Note, that `skiko.wasm` might be same within few Compose versions so it should be cached well by browsers*, and basically would be downloaded only once per domain (there are browser limitations <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Privacy/State_Partitioning#network_partitioning|[1]> <https://www.stefanjudis.com/notes/say-goodbye-to-resource-caching-across-sites-and-domains/|[2]>). If we start merging files we will lose this capability and browser will need to download whole binaries for every application update. Which may be a big disadvantage.

Speaking about merging, we tried it about a year ago on a simple compose app, and the results were not so impressive, specifically:
• Row size of wasm file(s) was reduced by ~1MB, which is nice
• But the compressed size of wasm file(s) was reduced only by ~128KB for gzip and by ~92KB for brotli, which is not so much.
We’ll continue investigating possibilities to decrease the size of final applications. Stay tuned.
