 - AST cleanup: Prepare for ast async cleanup: Refactor code for "@res.async" payload handling and clean up handling of type and term parameters, so that now each `=>` in a function definition corresponds to a function. https://github.com/rescript-lang/rescript/pull/7223
 - AST: always put type parameters first in function definitions. https://github.com/rescript-lang/rescript/pull/7233
+- AST cleanup: Remove `@res.async` attribute from the internal representation, and add a flag to untyped and typed ASTs instead. https://github.com/rescript-lang/rescript/pull/7234
