#[embrio_async] can't handle expressions in macros

[jrobsonchase]

Not sure if this is something that's fixable or not. If something.await is in the arguments to a macro expression, it can't be expanded since syn represents the arguments to a macro invocation as an un-parsed TokenStream.

For example, write!(output, "{}", something.read().await) would result in a "await used outside of an async block" compile error since our macro wouldn't see the something.read().await as an expression or be able to traverse it.

I think the only way to solve this reliably would be to somehow ensure that we're the last macro to be expanded, which doesn't seem to be a thing, but there's a pre-rfc that sounds like what we'd need.

There's also been discussion of having an API for a proc-macro to ask rustc to expand inner macros. I can't think of a way to work around this in general without support from the compiler.
