Just wanted to add another use-case. In a project I'm working on, we are
building a lot of graphs using code like this:
```
nodes = [
Node('node-name1',
children=[...],
classifier=has_foo),
Node('node-name2',
children=[...],
classifier=has_bar),
...
]
```
where `has_foo` and `has_bar` are async functions.
Sometimes it would be useful to combine two functions with
```
Node('node-name',
children=[...],
classifier=async lambda: x: await has_bar(x) or await has_foo(x))
```
If this function was to be an `async def`, rather than `async lambda`, it would
have to be defined far away from where it is used. This doesn't always make
sense semantically.
I don't think this example on its own is enough to warrant new syntax in the
language, but if somebody is collecting "multiple use cases to justify not just
using async def first", perhaps it's worth including.
