it also doesn't help that the fix for the increased difficulty in implementing AsyncIterator for devs (assuming the approach advocated for in the OP winds up being the one selected by the language team) relies on the as yet (?) unstabilized generators/async generators feature. I'm not really why it's not available yet as the necessary compiler features are already in place and have been for years but because it's not, this is kind of a hard pill to swallow.
