Description
Documentation
asyncio dropped generator-based coroutines in 3.12, but the docs never say so
Proposed fix: state this in the Awaitables section, note the TypeError on create_task(), and add the missing versionchanged:: 3.12 to iscoroutine()
have a fix for that

Research direction
Read the asyncio documentation's Awaitables section and the iscoroutine() entry first. Done means the docs state that generator-based coroutines are unsupported, explain the TypeError from create_task(), and include the versionchanged:: 3.12 note for iscoroutine().
