Does "C++" light a bulb? <wink>

Less snarkily looks like a series of bolt-ons after bolt-ons

IMHO Guido's (otherwise) uncannily sound intuitions have been wrong right from
2001 when he overloaded def for generators.
And after that its been slippery-slope down: reusing generator-yield (statement)
for coroutine-yield (expression)
Most recently choosing these async-await keywords instead of the more symmetric 
suggestions of Greg Ewing
