Is there some programming pattern that would enable me to detect when an 
asyncio event loop becomes idle in the following sense? Say that my execution 
path branches in some complex way, say, using asyncio.gather(), but I know that 
each branch eventually awaits some idle coroutine, such as a socket or a 
subprocess. Say I know these coroutines actually never yield, so the event loop 
will execute whatever python code it can but eventually will just wait for 
those idle coroutines. Is there a programmatic way to detect such a state and 
stop the loop?
