Description
As there are not all syntactical gimmicks from JS available in ReScript (like for-await...of), it would help to cover these special cases in their own section. One possible workaround is described here: https://github.com/rescript-association/rescript-core/blob/main/src/Core__AsyncIterator.resi#L35
