I'd still prefer to avoid use of the word "coroutine"
altogether as being far too overloaded.

I think even the term "native coroutine" leaves room
for ambiguity. It's not clear to me whether you intend
it to refer only to functions declared with 'async def',
or to any function that returns an awaitable object.

The term "async function" seems like a clear and
unabmigious way to refer to the former. I'm not sure
what to call the latter.
