I'd also like to support Trollius. I guess using yield From(fut) would
do, right? But how does one get around the syntax error on Python <
3.3, if at all possible?

There is a small problem with that. For the most part, what people
need is getaddrinfo, which c-ares doesn't have, so I'd have to
'emulate' it by running it on a thread. The problem is that the
parameters that were used to configure the Ares channel (nameservers,
timeout, ... [0]) wouldn't apply to getaddrinfo.

So, for now, I went with a simple query() function, intended at those
who need DNS resolution beyond getaddrinfo/getnameinfo.

As a side note, here [1] is a good explanation on why getaddrinfo
might not be what you really want (depending on your use case, of
course).
