+[`await`] has been used outside [`async`] function or [`async`] block.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```edition2018,compile_fail,E0728
+# use std::pin::Pin;
+# use std::future::Future;
+# use std::task::{Context, Poll};
+#
+# struct WakeOnceThenComplete(bool);
+#
+# fn wake_and_yield_once() -> WakeOnceThenComplete {
+#     WakeOnceThenComplete(false)
+# }
+#
+# impl Future for WakeOnceThenComplete {
+#     type Output = ();
+#     fn poll(mut self: Pin<&mut Self>, cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<()> {
+#         if self.0 {
+#             Poll::Ready(())
+#         } else {
+#             cx.waker().wake_by_ref();
+#             self.0 = true;
+#             Poll::Pending
+#         }
+#     }
+# }
+#
+fn foo() {
+    wake_and_yield_once().await // `await` is used outside `async` context
+}
+```
+
+[`await`] is used to suspend the current computation until the given
+future is ready to produce a value. So it is legal only within
+an [`async`] context, like an `async` function or an `async` block.

+}
+
+fn bar(x: u8) -> impl Future<Output = u8> {
+    async move {
+        wake_and_yield_once().await; // `await` is used within `async` block
+        x
