+        Marking a function as \`async\` without using \`await\` or returning a value inside it can lead to an unintended promise return and a larger transpiled output.
+        Often the function can be synchronous and the \`async\` keyword is there by mistake.
+        Return statements are allowed as sometimes it is desirable to wrap the returned value in a Promise.`,
