That magic can be learned, in principle. I'm afraid few programmers will
be willing/able to get over the hump, and there are a number of tricky
aspects to be extra careful about.

The situation *did* get significantly better with "async" replacing
"@coroutine" and "await" replacing "yield from". However, it is easy to
accidentally forget to place the "await" keyword where it belongs and
quite a bit of troubleshooting can go into locating the mistake because
the faulty program runs without an (immediate) exception.
