Without XPCOM extensions, what's the story for out-of-tree spell checkers?

It would remove the need for jsctypes, but how would a WebAssembly
program in a Web Extension get to act as a spell checking engine once
extensions can no longer implement XPCOM interfaces
(mozISpellCheckingEngine in this case)?
Note there is a bug on file to implement an spell-checker API for
WebExtensions: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1343551
The API request was approved but is low priority.

Note, that bug seems about using an API like mozISpellCheckingEngine
from web extensions.
It doesn't seem to be about providing an implementation of it via a web
extension.
