[Python-Dev] Await and Async keywords

Hi,

I'm currently looking into how Python3 is parsed, and I'm wondering why
await and async aren't considered as keywords? Are there programs
actually using await and async as variable names? Is there another
behaviour where it is interesting to use async for something different?

Cheers,
Aymeric
