--- Comment #1 from Ross Kirsling <ross.kirsling at sony.com> ---
That would be a more helpful error message indeed.

Note that the reason for the current error message is that `await` is a valid *identifier* just when we're *not* in an async function.

So this is all perfectly valid code (for web compatibility reasons):

    const await = "Hello";
    const x = await;

    function f(await) { console.log(await); }
