| **`call`** calls a function, while **`call_indirect`** calls a function in a table. | ||
| **`return_call`** and **`return_call_indirect`** are the tail-call versions of `call` and `call_indirect`, respectively. |

I appreciate that this predates you, but what is a tail-call? We should say, if you know?
It would be good to have an example of using call_indirect.

FYI Pushed this below syntax section, added headings for each example, and made the examples render as "taller".
There is no defined structure for examples and how they should be presented in WASM but the format used in Web APIs makes sense IMO. Note that this does mean that the example is duplicated from the top, but I am OK with that.

@pepelsbey I've subedited to what I think is improved structure. I'd like an explanation of tail call ideally as per https://github.com/mdn/content/pull/36288/files#r1796238648
However if you don't want to do that because you consider it out of scope that is understandable - I'm approving so you have the choice to self merge.
Description
