Ah, thanks!...  That explains things, though I don't expect most users
to spontaneously infer this and its consequences from the fact that they
used "wait_for()".

This seems actually even more problematic, because if bar() can mutate
Task_wait_for_LC, it may unwillingly affect wait_for() (assuming the
wait_for() implementation may some day use EC for whatever purpose, e.g.
logging).

It seems framework code like wait_for() should have a way to override
the default behaviour and remove their own LC's from "child" coroutines'
lookup chaines.  Perhaps the PEP already allows for his?
