/**
 * JsAsync marks a method to be transpiled to an async JavaScript method.
 *
 * <p>Adding this annotation to a method adds an {@code async} keyword to the generated JavaScript
 * function.
 *
 * <p>There are some limitations apply on JsAsync to make the annotation practical:
 * <ul>
 * <li>A @JsAsync method return type should be IThenable or Promise.
 * <li>A @JsAsync method should not return {@code null}.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>This is an EXPERIMENTAL annotation and only works in J2CL.
