Description
Take the following code as an example
source = "const obj = { async* generator() {}};"
esprima.parseScript(source, { tolerant: true }))
code = escodegen.generate(ast);
console.log(code);
The output is:
const obj = {
async,
*generator() {
}
};

Research direction
Start with the provided esprima.parseScript example and inspect the AST before escodegen.generate is called. Reproduce the async* generator object expression and trace where it is parsed as separate async and generator parts; done means the generated output preserves the async generator syntax.
