+/**
+ * SO. For all intents and purposes, this thing below is just an AsyncIterator. That's what it's meant to be. "So why
+ * not just put `AsyncIterator`," you ask. Good question. Let me tell you a tale:
+ *
+ * In the year 2019, all was happy, all was cheerful. These integration tests $ExpectedType AsyncIterator and this
+ * redundant interface was naught. Birds chirped with glee. Children played in the fields. Not a thing in the world
+ * could possibly go wrong.
+ *
+ * Then something went wrong. From each cardinal direction a storm approached. Its winds ripped trees from their roots
+ * and separated hatchlings from their mothers. Mercilessly, the storm tore apart the meadow and everything it
+ * supported.
+ *
+ * This storm has not been forgotten. We keep its bittersweet memory in our hearts. Some cower at the foul beast's name:
+ * `typescript@3.6.0-dev.20190703`.
+ *
+ * For, you see, this was not your average storm. No, this storm approached instead as something to be celebrated. It
+ * boasted updated generator types and it advertised comfortable iterator ergonomics. Alas, in hindsight this was but a
+ * mirage--a trojan horse, even--masquerading the terror that followed. It knocked with its weapon upfront: no longer
+ * was it `AsyncIterator<T>`, but rather `AsyncIterator<T, TReturn = any, TNext = undefined>`.
+ *
+ * It struck right at the edge: the integration tests. For, you see, their foundation is dtslint, which (at the time of
+ * the storm) tests against each minor release of TypeScript from 2.0 all the way to `typescript@next`. Whilst usage
+ * remain unaffected, the same could not be said of our types integration tests. These tests now failed, for their
+ * single generic argument was unequal to the three dtslint expected.
+ *
+ * Our most trustworthy guard, Travis (CI), attempted to warn us of the dangerous storm, but by the time the message
+ * reached us the damage was done. Builds were failing. PRs reported failures. Builds were a sea of red ✗'s (read: a sea
+ * of blood).
+ *
+ * This is why we've enacted this memorial: the __DangerouslyOutmodedAsyncIteratorSignatureWrapper. Its purpose is not
+ * only to remember the sorrows of past maintiners, but to also appease the storm by wrapping `AsyncIterator` in a new
+ * type that is fully equivalent, yet named different under `$ExpectType` (that is, the same across TypeScript
+ * versions).
+ *
+ *  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -
+ *
+ * Just as there is a calm before the storm, there must also be one after.
+ *
+ * We dream of a day where dtslint only runs a specific range of supported versions. We dream of a day where dtslint can
+ * see the equality of an expected type without explicit defaults and the type with its defaults filled in[1]. We dream
+ * of a future after the storm.
+ *
+ * Once we reach that future, this memorial will have served its purpose[2]. It will be safe to remove in that future we
+ * dream of.
+ *
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * [1]: That is, `AsyncIterator<T>` is equal to `AsyncIterator<T, any, undefined>` because the defaults cause them to
+ *      become equal.
+ * [2]: This interface is no longer needed once TypeScript 3.6 or higher is the supported range, or once dtslint can
+ *      better compare type assertions.
+ *
+ * For more information, search the history books for PR #836.
