I'm not saying that yielding lists or dicts is useful, but it sounds
like you're saying that somehow it's actually incompatible with
async/await, and I don't understand why that would be -- e.g., this
works fine?:

In [2]: @types.coroutine
   ...: def yield_list():
   ...:     yield [1, 2, 3]
   ...:

In [3]: async def f():
   ...:     await yield_list()
   ...:

In [4]: next(f().__await__())
Out[4]: [1, 2, 3]
