"!" won't work, in my opinion. Besides being an eyesore, it is unfriendly
to chaining because of the newline restrictions required by ASI. E.g. this
won't work as expected:
getSomethingAsync()
!method1()
!method2()
!etc();

Don't need the newline restriction in the second rule:
modifier [NoNewLine] Identifier =>
modifier ArgumentList =>
I was able to generically implement this syntax without too much trouble
[1]. Allowing default initializers in the arrow function head makes me
nervous though, given Javascript's context-sensitive tokenization. Do you
think that was a mistake?
In any case, I think this is the way to go for generic function modifiers!
I'll post some other feedback regarding async functions in the near future.
