As far as I understand, currently the implementations of "yield from"
and "await" are sufficiently similar that they *would* be equivalent
if the compiler didn't go out of its way to prevent you from
mixing them up.

It does that because they're conceptually different things, and
a future version of CPython might implement them differently.
