* Extension module initialisation follows PEP 489 in CPython 3.5+, which resolves
several differences with regard to normal Python modules. This makes the global
names ``__file__`` and ``__path__`` correctly available to module level code and
improves the support for module-level relative imports.

* Asynchronous generators (PEP 525) and asynchronous comprehensions (PEP 530)
* Asynchronous generators (`PEP 525 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0525/>`_)
and asynchronous comprehensions (`PEP 530 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0530/>`_)
have been implemented. Note that async generators require finalisation support
in order to allow for asynchronous operations during cleanup, which is only
available in CPython 3.6+. All other functionality has been backported as usual.
