NAME
    PerlX::AsyncAwait - async/await keywords in pure perl

EXPERIMENTAL
    This is batshit crazy, even for mst. No warranty, express or implied.

SYNOPSIS
    First recommendation:

      use Future::AsyncAwait; # instead

    because it's XS and does suspend/resume properly and will perform
    better.

    This module, on the other hand, is an attempt to make it all work in
    pure perl, by rewriting your code into a .pmc file that contains extra
    code to handle suspend/resume at the pure perl level. Which is great if
    you want fatpacking or support for older perls, but not the best
    solution otherwise.

    That said:

      use PerlX::Generator::Runtime;
      use PerlX::Generator::Compiler;
  
      my $f = async_do {
        ...
        await some_future_returning_function();
        ...
        return ...;
      };
  
      my $result = $loop->await($f);

      my $sub = async_sub {
        ...
        await some_future_returning_function($_[0]);
        ...
        return ...;
      };
  
      my $result = $loop->await($sub->(...));

    This will result in a .pmc file that depends only on
    PerlX::AsyncAwait::Runtime. See the examples/ directory for what the
    results end up looking like. Note that the order is important, you
    *must* use the runtime *before* the compiler or weirdness will ensue.

    Note that since the .pmc does not require the compiler, on the author
    side you will need to depend on Module::Compile directly.

DESCRIPTION
    There should be details here but I'm shipping this now so the YAPC::EU
    crowd can play with it.

LIMITATIONS
    We rewrite "foreach" into a 3-arg "for" so you *can* await inside a
    foreach loop.

    We do not handle 'local' in any way shape or form that. I'll add that
    later.
