## Message

```
wasm: `ptr_elem_val` use pointer type for local

When storing the address after calculating the element's address,
ensure it's stored in a local with the correct type. Previously it
would incorrectly use the element's type, which could be a float for
example and therefore generate invalid WebAssembly code.

This change also introduces a more robust `store` function.
