There are many ways to compose promises, no point in elevating some of them to keyword status. If you need to do anything interesting with promises, just use a promises library. The point of async/await is to free you from having to use callbacks, not to eliminate the need for libraries.
I don't see what's unclean about Promise.all or how creating a 1:1 alias for it makes it cleaner.
Also, many times you want to limit the concurrency of your promise execution which isn't something you can do with an array of promises. You'd be back to using `await` + something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/promise.map.
I'm someone that used to use `co` where you could go:
const [a, b] = yield [promiseA(), promiseB()]
But I prefer the simplicity and consistency of having to use something like Promise.all or require('promise.map').
I have a hard time understanding how adding alias indirection disambiguates anything much less spares one from learning something.
How does one get to the point where they want to await multiple promises, yet they need to be insulated from the very presence of the `Promise` object?
Well at least in my mental model a Promise is an object that eventually resolves to something within its .then() method. In contrast my mental model of await is that of a blocking call. One can internalize the latter without the former.
