The problem is that the GC can’t execute async code, and we don’t have any control over GC. What if we add a mechanism to control how async generators (AG) are destructed. Let’s say we add new function to the sys module - `sys.set_async_generator_finalizer(finalizer)`. We already have sys.set_coroutine_wrapper(), so this isn’t something unprecedented.

There isn't just one event loop though, and what trampoline to attach a dying coroutine to depends heavily on what event loop it came from. It seems like a single global value for this in 'sys' would just be ... wrong.
