`await null` to stay in the same tick?

[/#!/JoePea]

Aah, good to know. With Babel this isn't the case, as `await null` doesn't
defer, so I was doing `await somethingThatMightBeNull` to possibly defer,
but `if (somethingThatMightBeNull) await somethingThatMightBeNull` will be
full proof if Babel fixes that.
