 One could allow modifiers for factories. A factory for \code{Future} could be modified by \ASYNC{}, a factory for \code{Stream} could be modified by \ASYNC* and a factory for \code{Iterable} could be modified by \SYNC*. No other scenario makes sense because the object returned by the factory would be of the wrong type. This situation is very unusual so it is not worth making an exception to the general rule for constructors in order to allow it.
