title: Why is the C# 5.0 await keyword listed as an operator rather than a modifier?
body: <p>The MSDN library <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh156528" rel="nofollow">lists the <code>await</code> keyword as an operator</a>. That seems strange to me - I'd have thought it was a modifier, like <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh156513%28v=vs.110%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">the <code>async</code> keyword</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Why is this an operator?</p>
