Greetings,
I wanted to use [Redis](https://github.com/nim-lang/redis) in one of my
projects. When trying to open a database asynchronously I always get the error
database.nim(16, 27) Error: undeclared identifier: 'await'. No matter what I
adjust in the code (like placing await in the most obviously known to be
working places), it always ends with this error. Maybe I just made an error in
my code, so I tried out the example given in the redis documentation:
import redis, asyncdispatch
## Open a connection to Redis running on localhost on the default port
(6379)
let redisClient = openAsync()
## Set the key `nim_redis:test` to the value `Hello, World`
await redisClient.setk("nim_redis:test", "Hello, World")
## Get the value of the key `nim_redis:test`
let value = await redisClient.get("nim_redis:test")
assert(value == "Hello, World")
Run
Even this super simple example code that is written by Nim developers does not
work and throws the exact same error.

P.S.: I searched the source code for the defition of await and could not find
it anywhere. It is used everywhere but where is the first mention of it?
