    // made use of that because the only operators that returned an IAsyncGrouping<TKey, TElement> fully enumerated the source
    // on the very first MoveNextAsync, meaning that by the time you got to inspect a group, its contents were available
    // immediately. So this interface merely forced code to use await foreach unnecessarily. We retain this for binary
    // compatibility, but it serves no long term purpose.
