I don't think anything in asyncio or PEP 492 fits that
definition directly. Generators and async def functions
seem to be what that page calls a "generator" or "semicoroutine":
they differ in that coroutines can control where execution
continues after they yield, while generators cannot, instead
transferring control back to the generator's caller.
