The Token API exists to make the current proposal forward compatible with :pep:550, in case there is demand to support context variables in generators and asynchronous generators in the future. Cool. I like the idea of starting with something simple in Python 3.7. Then extend it in Python 3.8 or later (support generators), if it becomes popular, once the first simple (but "incomplete", without generators) implementation is battle-tested.

+1 for starting with a basic API and building on that.
