It's a debugging-only custom section which provides names for functions and such:
  https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/BinaryEncoding.md#name-section

One place it's especially useful is in backtraces, which doesn't even require devtool support.

We've heard from developers that they'd like us to support it.
