The linked proposal contains examples written in both "legacy" syntax
(marked "ES2015") and in ES7 syntax with async/await (marked "ES2016").
Please do read it.

As the syntax additions are "just sugar" on top of Promises, the underlying
issue of mixing IDB+Promises remains. The proposal attempts to make code
using IDB with async/await syntax approachable, while not entirely
replacing the existing API.
