Add asyncio.run() and asyncio.run_forever() functions.

-1. Something that's only meant to be used at the top level doesn't deserve to be a coroutine IMO. And even if we have forever() I think you should be...

Add asyncio.run() and asyncio.run_forever() functions.

That's also ambiguous (is it a verb or a noun?). And the issue of whether it would just be a shorthand for sleep(inf) is still unsettled.

Add asyncio.run() and asyncio.run_forever() functions.

IIRC people are currently using a bare yield as the equivalent of sleep(0) -- just bounce to the loop, run all callbacks, and then continue. How can it _also_ mean...

Add asyncio.run() and asyncio.run_forever() functions.

Also frankly run_in_executor() is a pretty clumsy API due to the initial parameter that is usually None. Is it really important enough to have this? (Again, I worry that this...

Add asyncio.run() and asyncio.run_forever() functions.

Oh, it's async generators. Too subtle. We _did_ fix get_event_loop(), and we're all happy with that. Can we just stop now please?

Add asyncio.run() and asyncio.run_forever() functions.

Only if it's obviously correct. The gyrations we're going through here suggest that it's not. (Or not yet.)

Add asyncio.run() and asyncio.run_forever() functions.

Then you are on your own. I have enough stress in my life without having to worry about this.

create_subprocess with set_event_loop(None) can't interact with child process producing zombies

Unfortunately you have to manage the child watcher when you choose to create multiple event loops that spawn subprocesses. There's definitely some unfinished business here that I'd like to see...

Sometimes it's important to check for socket writeability before trying to write

At the lowest level in asyncio (i.e. if you have a socket) if you just start sending, loop.sock_sendall() you will indeed be hit by this if the optimization misfires. But...

make fork + exec non blocking on unix

@gpshead This seems your territory -- do you have time to look into this? The ideas seem solid.
