Type inference for async generators

Suggestion

It would be amazing if typescript could infer types from async generators.
The following is valid javascript, thus, I think, it should be valid typescript and type of x should be inferred.
Today it fails with Parameter 'x' implicitly has 'any' type.

async function forever(x) {
  for await (const unused of x) {
    void unused;
  }
}

async function* test() {
  for (;;) {
    await something();
    yield;
  }
}

forever(test());

✅ Viability Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

⭐ Suggestion

Treat type of x as "any async iterator would do" thus including any async generator function.

My own use... forever/background (async) processes/

💻 Use Cases

Today, I need to type this explicitly, which is unnecessarily verbose.

In the long run, it would allow composing async functions same as type inference helps composing plain functions today.

I get it that type inference for async iterables/iterators/generators opens a huge can of worms, like:

• type narrowing, like #36687 or in this vein
• yield expression return type #36967
• generator yielded type #32523

Comienza con el ejemplo reportado de async generator y verifica el diagnóstico actual de implicit-any para forever(test()). No se nombran archivos, pruebas ni puntos de entrada; revisa las cuestiones relacionadas en #36687, #36967 y #32523. Se considerará terminado cuando estén definidos el alcance y el comportamiento de inferencia esperado para async iterators y generators.
