Sorry, yes, what I meant was you can use builtin if/while/for, but they're magic special cases that you can't reuse. E.g. if you have a repeated snippet of code

Sorry, yes, what I meant was you can use builtin if/while/for, but they're magic special cases that you can't reuse. E.g. if you have a repeated snippet of code that uses if/while/for, you might have exactly the same code in one async and one regular function, but you can't factor it out into a shared helper function (you can write the async and the non-async version of that helper function, but you can't write one that does both).
