I realize I *can*, but it seems far from straightforward.  I guess this is
really a python-list question or something, but what is the async/await
spelling of something toy like:

In [1]: def fib():
   ...:     a, b = 1, 1
   ...:     while True:
   ...:         yield a
   ...:         a, b = b, a+b
   ...:

In [2]: from itertools import takewhile

In [3]: list(takewhile(lambda x: x<200, fib()))
Out[3]: [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144]

I vote SyntaxError, of course. :-)
