`await null` to stay in the same tick?

[Logan Smyth]

Joe, if you have a specific example, feel free to file an issue and I can
take a look. From what I can see,
http://babeljs.io/repl/#?experimental=true&evaluate=true&loose=false&spec=false&playground=false&code=%0A%0A(async%20function%20fn()%7B%0A%20%20console.log('start')%0A%20%20Promise.resolve().then(()%20%3D%3E%20console.log('tick'))%3B%0A%20%20await%20null%3B%0A%20%20%0A%20%20console.log('end')%3B%0A%7D)()%3B
would indicate that Babel always defers with Regenerator as well. Better to
have this discussion elsewhere though.
