It seems like a reasonable request to me, though I'm not currently sure
what the text should actually look like. However, I think it's possible
to offer additional remedies in 8.6, where you can use a coroutine-based
scheme to write code that *looks* virtually identical to the bad old
[vwait]-based code, but which is in fact event-loop friendly. Thus it
would be good to at least indicate that this is possible in the docs,
making for a substantively different overall flavour...

If someone were to file a bug about this (top-prio) so that it gets
sorted out in time for the next 8.5 and 8.6 releases, that would be a
very good deed.
