[issue37299] RuntimeWarning is NOT raised

I think the reason for the difference here is in the `no_error` function you never actually create the coroutine `true()`, so there's nothing to warn about.

One thing that's confusing things about this example is that the `false()` evaluates to True, because it returns a coroutine object (rather than the value `False`):

    >>> async def false(): 
    ...:     return False 
    ...:                                                                                                                                     

    >>> bool(false())                                                                                                                       
    True

If you expand your `false() or true()` statement, it's equivalent to:

    x = false()
    if not x:
        x = true()

    return await x

Since `false()` is truthy, you don't expect true() to ever be called, hence no warning.

@YoSTEALTH Does this make sense? Does it solve the issue?
