Indeed. I heard a rumor[*] that there's at least one package in the cheeseshop that consists of a one-liner.

On the other hand, we have multiprocessing examples in the docs that are longer than that, so it sounds like a great asyncio example to me, especially given that Victor says we don't have enough examples yet.
