Wait, I missed this on first reading. The note in the docs for
generator expressions defining asynchronous generator expressions is
*incredibly* easy to miss, and doesn't say anything about the
semantics (the expansion you quote above) being different for the two
cases. This definitely needs clarifying in the docs.
