So "No" to all? You want |arguments| and |yield| in arrow functions 
working on the immediately enclosing arrow?

Whatever the |await| answer, we need a systematic approach or rule of 
thumb for the other forms.

Lawyer Alex, esq, could you please answer the question of what 
|arguments| in an arrow should do? |yield| in an arrow?

So "No" to all? You want `arguments` and `yield` in arrow functions

Whatever the `await` answer, we need a systematic approach or rule of 
thumb for the other forms.
