Martin Panter added the comment:

I think you are right that it would be typically used as a decorator. Patch v2 changes it to be defined as a decorator.

Not sure what the second part of your comment is referring to. The existing text about lack of __await__() maybe? You still have to have something (such as “asyncio”) drive the top-level coroutine. So that is a third thing users have to do with them. Passing a coroutine to “await” does not magically make it go, it just becomes a subordinate of the outer coroutine.
