await prefix is more of an explicit cast than an implicit conversation, and
other than the very small timing gap in how throws are handled I pointed
out a few days ago, I can't think of any situations where a throw would
make more sense than casting values to promises.
Sure, lots of such cases exist today with promises and are easy to reproduce
```js
async function foo {
let result = await bar; // instead of bar();
let result2 = await callbackFn(); // await on function that was not
"promisified yet", that is, it takes a callback
let result3 = await [p1, p2, p3]; // people might expect a Promise.all
on an array, but this doesn't actually wait for anything.
}
```
