  perPage values instead of fetching all merged PRs at once.
- Prescribe view tool as fallback for any temp files instead of
  PowerShell commands.

Is there something interesting that people can do with WebAssembly on CoreCLR in P1, and that we would like to get feedback for?

If not, we should shrink the whole CoreCLR WebAssembly section to just a single mention that CoreCLR port for WebAssembly have started.

This preview adds faster allocation helpers and reduces overhead in common interop cases.

- Faster allocation paths:
- `RhpNewFast` allocators. ([dotnet/runtime#120896](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/120896))
