The keyword 'await' is reserved

Hey,

this line uses the name "await" as function name, even though it's a reserved keyword.

As mentioned in this issue at webpack, this causes problems when trying to parse the resulting d3 lib with a newer parser.

There were a few issues there (#55 and #58) containing the same problem, but the problem itself is not solved (or reoccured).

Hi. The use of the name await on the line you linked applies to a property of Queue.prototype, not a function. It’s perfectly valid to use reserved words as property names (see Reserved word usage and Identifier Names and Identifiers).

My guess is that webpack is rewriting the code somehow to cause this breakage, but with apologies, the issue is not the source code here.

Thank you for that crucial hint! I totally overlooked the missing function name :-)
