Thanks for brining this up -- it's a good point. Unlike ES5 strict and
'yield', the cat is not yet out of the bag. We need to commit, though.

I think we should at least consider for a moment reserving `await`
within the body of arrow functions. Consider the following event
handling scenario, where lexical `this` is an important feature:
this.button.on("click", $=> {
this.getDataAsync().then(data => {
this.showData(data);
});
});
If JS gets async functions, then users will naturally want to express
such a construct with await:
this.button.on("click", $=> {
let data = await this.getDataAsync();
this.showData(data);
});
If we get async functions, then I think that we will want an arrow
form. It would be a shame to have to invent new syntax to support it.
Thoughts?
