A possible syntax form

[Jithu Joshy Jy]

I'm curious to know if it would be better to have a syntax for this requirement;
Maybe something like:

async function connectToDB(connStr) #{
    return await orm.connect(connStr)
}

(It kindof looks ungly😅)

The benefit of using a directive instead of new syntax is that it is backward-compatible, which will make adoption significantly easier.
