 promise will be `await`ed.
 
-This method is different from `for... await` loops in that it supports setting

-is also possible to `break` from a `for... await` destroying the stream but
-`forEach` is only breakable by passing it a `signal` and aborting the related

+This method is different from `for await...of` loops in that it can optionally
+process items concurrently. In addition, a `forEach` iteration can only be
+stopped by having passed a `signal` option and aborting the related
+`AbortController` while `for await...of` can be stopped with `break` or
+`return`. In either case the stream will be destroyed.
 
 This method is different from listening to the [`'data'`][] event in that it
 uses the [`readable`][] event in the underlying machinary and can limit the
