Kind (A):

- "yield-from coroutines" or "coroutines based on yield-from"
- maybe "asyncio coroutines"
- "legacy coroutines"?

"legacy coroutines" name has the advantage to be directly clear it isn't a good idea to write new source code with that.

Kind (B):

- "awaitable coroutines" or "coroutines based on await"
- "asynchronous coroutine" to remember the "async" keyword even if it sounds
wrong to repeat that a coroutine can be interrupted (it's almost the
definition of a coroutine, no?)
- or just "asynchronous function" (coroutine function) & "asynchronous
object" (coroutine object)

Personally, if I've a vote right, "async coroutine" is just enough, even if it's a repetition. Or just "coroutine" ?

I'm not fan for "new-style coroutines" like name.

By the way, I hope you don't change a third time how to write async code in Python, because it will be harder to define a new name.

Not related, but one of my coworkers asked me if with the new syntax it will be possible to write an async decorator for coroutines.

If I understand correctly new grammar in PEP, it seems to be yes, but could you confirm ?
