This does seem to mean that it can be difficult to provide a __await__
method that works with different coroutine runners, though.  For
example, Tornado Futures implement __await__ for compatibility with the
asyncio event loop.  But what if Tornado wants to make its Future class
compatible with an event loop that requires a different __await__
convention?
