OK, that's fair. To an outsider like me it feels like a lot of new
syntax to support a very specific use case. But that's because I don't
really have a feel for what you mean when you note "but not limited to
that". Are there any good examples or use cases for coroutines that
are *not* asyncio-based? And assuming you are saying that PEP 482
should help for those as well, could it include a non-asyncio example?
My immediate reaction is that the keywords "async" and "await" will
seem a little odd in a non-asyncio context.
