            // functions cannot reference `super`, we emit a helper inside of the method body, but outside of the generator. This helper
            // uses an arrow function, which is permitted to reference `super`.
            //
            // There are two primary ways we can access `super` from within an async method. The first is getting the value of a property
            // or indexed access on super, either as part of a right-hand-side expression or call expression. The second is when setting the value
            // of a property or indexed access, either as part of an assignment expression or destructuring assignment.
            //
            // The simplest case is reading a value, in which case we will emit something like the following:
            //
            //  // ts
            //  ...
            //  async asyncMethod() {

            //  }
            //  ...
            //
            // The more complex case is when we wish to assign a value, especially as part of a destructuring assignment. As both cases
            // are legal in ES6, but also likely less frequent, we emit the same more complex helper for both scenarios:
            //
            //  // ts
            //  ...
            //  async asyncMethod(ar: Promise<any[]>) {

         * Another thing to note is that at any step of this process, we could run into a dead end,
         * meaning either the property is missing, or we run into the anyType. If either of these things
         * happens, we return undefined to signal that we could not find the iterated type. If a property
         * is missing, and the previous step did not result in 'any', then we also give an error if the
         * caller requested it. Then the caller can decide what to do in the case where there is no iterated
         * type. This is different from returning anyType, because that would signify that we have matched the
         * whole pattern and that T (above) is 'any'.
         *
         * For a **for-of** statement, `yield*` (in a normal generator), spread, array
         * destructuring, or normal generator we will only ever look for a `[Symbol.iterator]()`
