Tons of Solutions Engineering work done today for the rest of the CS team! Headway, Howard Hanna, Engels, Brighton, etc. Also completed Datasnippers auth flow and worked on Anthology's script. Cloned Anthology's courses (900..) and will clone Full Story on Monday.

+===========
+### Compiles sync functions into async functions
+
+Sometimes you need to write sync looking code that's really async under the hood.
+This module takes a String to one or more synchronous JavaScript functions, and
+returns a new String that with those JS functions transpiled into `async`
+functions.
+
+So this:
+
+```js
+function foo() {
+  return a('bar') || b();
+}
+```
+
+Gets compiled into:
+
+```js
+async function foo() {
+    return await a('bar') || await b();
+}
+```
+
+With the compiled output code, you can evaluate the code using the `vm` module
+in Node.js, or save the code to a file and require it, or whatever.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+You must explicitly specify the names of the functions that should be
+"asyncified". So say we wanted to expose a `get(url)` function that did
+and HTTP request and returned the response body.
+
+The user has provided us with this implementation:
+
+``` js
+function myFn() {
+  const one = get('https://google.com');
+  const two = get('http://nodejs.org');
+  const three = JSON.parse(get('http://jsonip.org'));
+  return [one, two, three];
+}
+```
+
+Now we can compile this into an asyncronous function, implement the
+async `get()` function, and finally evaluate it into a real JavaScript function
+instance with the `vm` module:
+
+
+```typescript
+import vm from 'vm';
+import { degenerator } from 'degenerator';
+
+// The `get()` function is Promise-based (error handling omitted for brevity)
+function get(endpoint: string) {
+  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
+    var mod = 0 == endpoint.indexOf('https:') ? require('https') : require('http');
+    var req = mod.get(endpoint);
+    req.on('response', function (res) {
+      var data = '';
+      res.setEncoding('utf8');
+      res.on('data', function (b) { data += b; });
+      res.on('end', function () {
+        resolve(data);
+      });
+    });
+  });
+}
+
+// Convert the JavaScript string provided from the user (assumed to be `str` var)
+str = degenerator(str, [ 'get' ]);
+
+// Turn the JS String into a real async function instance
+const asyncFn = vm.runInNewContext(`(${str})`, { get });
+
+// Now we can invoke the function asynchronously
+asyncFn().then((res) => {
+  // Do something with `res`...
+});
+```
+
+
+API
+---
+
+### degenerator(code: string, names: Array<string|RegExp>): String
+
+Returns a "degeneratorified" JavaScript string, with `async`/`await` transplanted.
