top level await

Stability: 1 - Experimental

The await keyword may be used in the top level (outside of async functions) within modules as per the [ECMAScript Top-Level await proposal][].

Assuming an a.mjs with

export const five = await Promise.resolve(5);

And a b.mjs with

import { five } from './a.mjs';
console.log(five); // Logs `5`

node b.mjs # works
