The Tornado bridge allows you to use any tornado-based library (and
indirectly, twisted ones) on trollius:
```
from tornado.platform.asyncio import AsyncIOMainLoop, to_asyncio_future
from tornado.httpclient import AsyncHTTPClient
from trollius import coroutine, get_event_loop, From
@coroutine
def main():
client = AsyncHTTPClient()
resp = yield From(to_asyncio_future(client.fetch('http://www.google.com
')))
print(resp)
if __name__ == '__main__':
AsyncIOMainLoop().install()
get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())
```
However, this only really makes sense to fill in the gaps between "native"
trollius libraries. Since there are hardly any of those, I don't see any
reason for anyone to use this mode (and I'm not aware of anyone using
Tornado's support for trollius).

I agree with this and think it makes sense to end support for trollius.
