Just out of curiosity, what's the best way to handle async arrow
function arguments vs `async` function calls? Is it term rewriting, or
is there a better way of handling that? I'm much more familiar with
recursive-descent and LL parsers than LR or shift-reduce ones, so I'm
not as readily familiar with how to handle these cases.
