It is though, it's a function/operator that is defined in userland.

No, you don't need either of these things. These just add a convenient syntax that desugars to the aforementioned bind function. These PPXs aren't special keywords specifically for async/await that had to be added into the language's syntax itself. Note that I know nothing about ReScript and this reply is not about ReScript, as that's not what this comment chain is about.
