Turn async generator functions and for-await statements to ES2015 generators
## Example
**In**

**Out**
```javascript
var _asyncGenerator = ...

yield _asyncGenerator.await(1);

# babel-plugin-transform-class-constructor-call (deprecated)
> Proposal Withdrawn: can be solved with decorators.
This plugin allows Babel to transform class constructors.
It basically allows to use the [new.target](http://mdn.io/new.target) feature on ES2015 classes:
```js
class Point {
constructor(x, y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
call constructor(x, y) {
return new Point(x, y);
}
}
let p1 = new Point(1, 2); // OK
let p2 = Point(3, 4); // OK
```
[Try in REPL](/repl/#?evaluate=true&presets=es2015%2Cstage-0&code=class%20Point%20%7B%0A%0A%20%20constructor(x%2C%20y)%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20this.x%20%3D%20x%3B%0A%20%20%20%20this.y%20%3D%20y%3B%0A%20%20%7D%0A%0A%20%20call%20constructor(x%2C%20y)%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20return%20new%20Point(x%2C%20y)%3B%0A%20%20%7D%0A%0A%7D%0A%0Alet%20p1%20%3D%20new%20Point(1%2C%202)%3B%20%2F%2F%20OK%0Alet%20p2%20%3D%20Point(3%2C%204)%3B%20%2F%2F%20OK)
## Example
### Date example
The javascript [Date](http://mdn.io/date) works this way:
```js
// You can get a Date instance using the new keyword
let now = new Date();
console.log(now.getMonth()); // Prints '3'
console.log(now.toString()); // Prints 'Mon Apr 11 2016 13:26:07 GMT+0100 (BST)'
// You can get a string of the current date using Date as a function:
let nowStr = Date();
console.log(nowStr); // Prints 'Mon Apr 11 2016 13:26:07 GMT+0100 (BST)'
```
It is currently possible to implement something like that using [new.target](http://mdn.io/new.target) (see [example in proposal](https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/blob/master/workingdocs/callconstructor.md#motivating-example)) and this new feature makes it available for ES2015 classes.
A date implementation could be:
```js
class Date {
constructor() {
// ...
}
call constructor() {
let date = new Date();
return date.toString();
}
}
let now = new Date(); // Get a Date instance
let nowStr = Date(); // Use the 'call constructor()' part to get a string value of the current date
```
