We have a few .png files in the docs.  Yours look like the beginning of 
perhaps 2 nice additions.

A. Width restrictions suggest making the async branches a separate diagram.

B. Be consistent on placement of inherited versus added methods.  Always 
list inherited first?  Different fonts, as suggested, might be good.

C. After discussion here, and revision, open a doc enhancement issue on 
bugs.python.org.
