It's not as complicated as it seems when you realize there is an event loop driving everything (which people have been leaving out of the conversation since it doesn't tie into the syntax directly). [..] Proposed second paragraph of the abstract:
This PEP assumes that the asynchronous tasks are scheduled and coordinated by an Event Loop similar to that of stdlib module asyncio.events.AbstractEventLoop. While the PEP is not tied to any specific Event Loop implementation, it is relevant only to the kind of coroutine that uses "yield" as a signal to the scheduler, indicating that the coroutine will be waiting until an event (such as IO) is completed.
Thank you for this suggestion. I've added it to the PEP: https://hg.python.org/peps/rev/7ac132b24f1f Yury
