Here is some background regarding "reactors": https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI/issues/13

One advantage of using this scheme in redshirt is that we could force applications to register themselves as interface handler during the call to _initialize. We would thereby have a way of telling that an application will no longer handle any new interface that it doesn't already handle.
