The only difference between an 'async for' and a regular 'for' is that
the former works on async iterables, and the latter works on regular
iterables. So "executed as 'async for'" doesn't really mean anything,
I think? If you have an async iterable, use 'async for', and if you
have a regular iterable, use 'for'.
