Yeah it's fixable. Everything I've built is built on top of a Symbol.streamIterator protocol that omits the unnecessary deferrals. The code looks like this: https://github.com/bablr-lang/node-fs/blob/6dabc6916082eb09c...

I would like to see official support for `Symbol.streamIterator` and for the `for await?(item of iter)` syntax which would transpile to code like you see here (or all the way down to regenerator state machines if needed).
