A final proposal for Rust await syntax

The lang team proposes to add the await operator to Rust using this syntax:

This is what’s called the “dot await” syntax: a postfix operator formed by the combination of a period and the await keyword. Its very easy to build a mental model of the period operator as simply the introduction of all of these various postfix syntaxes: field accesses, methods, and certain keyword operators like the await operation. Even if not using highlighting, many users will be familiar with languages using an async/await syntax; while those languages will probably have a different syntax for the await operator, they will still recognize the await keyword as indicating something unusual is happening.
