That's my point, actually. If you are wrapping the Queue protocol with __aiter__/__anext__ the caller would expect there's a way to signal to the latter that the loop is over (so it can raise StopAsyncIteration). But since .get() doesn't have a way to signal this, an async for-loop would not be able to terminate (other than through break).
