Both you and Paul are correct on this, thank you.  The proper resolution
of

  await -coro() 

is indeed to get the result of coro(), call it's __neg__ method, and then
await on that.

And that is perfectly reasonable, and should not be a SyntaxError; what it
might be is an AttributeError (no __neg__ method) or an AsyncError (__neg__
returned non-awaitable object), or might even just work [1]... but it
definitely should /not/ be a SyntaxError.
