To my eye 'async def name()', 'async with', 'async for' look better than 'def async name()', 'with async' and 'for async'. But that's highly subjective.

I'm with Barry on this one as far as looks go. (But count that as a +0, since I'm just a literary critic, I don't use coroutines in anger at present.)

I also read "for async item in iter:" as "I'm iterating iter with async item".

I thought that was precisely the intended semantics: item is available asynchronously.

Again, count as a +0. FWIW, etc.
