I understand these do almost the same thing, and asyncio.async can even get a loop keyword argument so it's as flexible as loop.create_task, which it uses internally.
So my question is: are both being kept going forward, or is this redundancy just a temporary compatibility measure before asyncio.async is deprecated? The docs seem to imply ever-so-slightly that create_task is better and async should be used "to support also older Python versions".
