Cannot find name 'AsyncFunction'

🕸️Web Standard APIs

I'm trying to use AsyncFunction, which MDN says Deno supports but I get this type checking error:

TS2304 [ERROR]: Cannot find name 'AsyncFunction'.
  const fn = new AsyncFunction(...args);
                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    at file:///home/path/to/my/project/main.ts:35:18
error: Type checking failed.

TS2304 [ERROR]: Cannot find name 'AsyncFunction'.
  const fn = new AsyncFunction(...args);
                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    at file:///home/path/to/my/project/main.ts:35:18
error: Type checking failed.

I tried adding nodenode or esnext.fullesnext.full to my deno.jsondeno.json compilerOptionscompilerOptions but no effect:

  "compilerOptions": {
    "lib": [
      "dom",
      "dom.iterable",
      "dom.asynciterable",
      "deno.ns",
      "esnext.full"
    ]
  },

  "compilerOptions": {
    "lib": [
      "dom",
      "dom.iterable",
      "dom.asynciterable",
      "deno.ns",
      "esnext.full"
    ]
  },

Update: I tried --no-check--no-check and I get

error: ReferenceError: AsyncFunction is not defined

error: ReferenceError: AsyncFunction is not defined

FunctionFunction and new Functionnew Function work, but not AsyncFunctionAsyncFunction. Help

AsyncFunction - JavaScript | MDN

The AsyncFunction object provides methods for async functions. In JavaScript, every async function is actually an AsyncFunction object.
