where "your proposal" is my proposal, actually.

Comment 2

[Rafael Ávila de Espíndola (:espindola) (not reading bugmail)]

As pointed out on the original bug, this is an API change, but on that would make it less error prone. One cannot just forget to make sure an async statement is executed, he has to explicitly make it cancelable.

In summary, I like the idea.

CCing Taras to see what he things and cc others he thinks might have an opinion on this.
