### Description As a javacript developer I would like to have support for [for await...of (ECMAScript specification)](https://tc39.es/ecma262/multipage/ecmascript-language-statements-and-declarations.html#sec-for-in-and-for-of-statements) so that I can write asynchronous iterators using the `for` keyword. Taken from the [MDN for await...of](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/for-await...of) example, the following for await statement uses an asynchronous iterator to produce its output ```javascript async function* foo() { yield 1; yield 2; } (async function() { for await (const num of foo()) { console.log(num); // expected output: 1 break; // closes iterator, triggers return } })(); ``` Presently this produces the following error message: > Expected ( but found await ### Use case/motivation Working with NodeJS applications such as AWS Lambda works with a lot of async code. Having native support for this within NetBeans IDE provides a better developer experience. I am willing to contribute with guidance. ### Related issues _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a pull request?
