Everybody is pulling me in a different direction :) Guido proposed to call them "native coroutines". Some people think that "async functions" is a better name. Greg loves his "cofunction" term.

Not the term, the idea. But PEP 492 is not based on that idea, so I don't advocate calling anything in PEP 492 a cofunction. My vote goes to "async function".
