> And that's it, no coroutines, no `yield from`. Since, if I understand correctly, asyncio requires a mainloop, it would make sense for the AsyncIOExecutor to have a thread of its own in which it could run its mainloop.

I think that putting the event loop in a separate thread would be
necessary if the intention is that the executor be invoked from
outside. I'm not aware of this work having been done, but it sounds
perfectly feasible.
