- * A sample async function (to demo Typescript's es7 async/await down-leveling).

- * // => ['a','b','c']
- * ```

- * ```js
- * var double = require('typescript-starter').asyncABC;
- * asyncABC().then(console.log);
- * // => ['a','b','c']
- * ```
- *
- * @returns a Promise which should contain `['a','b','c']`
