2 Inputhook for running the original asyncio event loop while we're waiting for
3 input.

5 By default, in IPython, we run the prompt with a different asyncio event loop,
6 because otherwise we risk that people are freezing the prompt by scheduling bad
7 coroutines. E.g., a coroutine that does a while/true and never yield back
8 control to the loop. We can't cancel that.

10 However, sometimes we want the asyncio loop to keep running while waiting for
11 a prompt.
12
13 The following example will print the numbers from 1 to 10 above the prompt,
14 while we are waiting for input. (This works also because we use
15 prompt_toolkit`s `patch_stdout`)::

17 In [1]: import asyncio
18
19 In [2]: %gui asyncio
20
21 In [3]: async def f():
22 ...: for i in range(10):
23 ...: await asyncio.sleep(1)
24 ...: print(i)

27 In [4]: asyncio.ensure_future(f())

33 # within the input hook would return the other loop.
