For await loops

Writing a couple of blog posts about the syntax for “for await” loops - loops that process streams (instead of iterators) by awaiting each element. This thread is for discussing them. We’re trying to experiment with different discussion forms that keep the conversation more manageable for everyone, so I’d like to try out an experiment here.

Last time the language team discussed for-await loops, I think the rough idea was that while let was sufficient for the sequential thing. Minutes can be found in:
