**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open the console
2. Evaluate `await new Promise())`


**Expected results**

I get the same error as when I only type `Promise())`: `SyntaxError: unexpected token: ')'`

**Actual results**

The following error is displayed: `SyntaxError: await is only valid in async functions and async generators`

---

The error is very confusing since we should now support top-level await.
