Given that LLVM has direct support for coroutines since 4.0 
(https://llvm.org/docs/Coroutines.html) I've wondered if D 
(even just LDC D for starters) could use that to implement 
async/await or a similar feature.


C++17 is supported it?


Clang 5 supports C++17 and "C++ coroutines TS"

Great work, Kai!

Are there any new code-generation features in LLVM 5.0 that LDC 
will make use of?
