[Python-Dev] PEP 492 quibble and request

That is a horrible rationale for not using an import.  By that logic we
should have everything in built-ins.  ;)


> Working example
> ...

The working example only uses async def and await, not async with
nor async for nor __aenter__, etc., etc.

Could you put in a more complete example -- maybe a basic chat room
with both server and client -- that demonstrated more of the new
possibilities?

Having gone through the PEP again, I am still no closer to understanding
what happens here:

  data = await reader.read(8192)

What does the flow of control look like at the interpreter level?
