No, this is the name we've been using since PEP 342 and it's still the same concept.

The fact that all syntax uses the word "async" and not "coro" or "coroutine" hints that it should really not be called a coroutine (much less a "native coroutine", which both silly and a lie).

Why not "async function"?

Antoine.
