There are use cases for this. I hit the problem and eventually wound up here, 
so I'd like to make a case to re-open.

My project has a callback registry of asyncio handler routines.

register_callback(condition1, handler1)
register_callback(condition2, handler2)
...

I want to register many callbacks, but use only one handler and an argument to 
differentiate it. I realize our callback systems should provide for a cookie, 
but it doesn't. 

register_callback(condition1, functools.partial(handler, 'detail1'))
register_callback(condition2, functools.partial(handler, 'detail2'))

The callback registry makes sure iscoroutinefunction(handler) because we don't 
want to defer error checking to the distant future. But iscoroutinefunction() 
returns False for the partial function. I was hopeful that this might work, but 
alas, no:

register_callback(condition1,
                  asyncio.coroutine(functools.partial(handler, 'detail1')))
