 ## The `Coroutine` type
 
-To make a Rust future awaitable in Python, PyO3 defines a [`Coroutine`]({{#PYO3_DOCS_URL}}/pyo3/coroutine/struct.Coroutine.html) type, which implements the Python [coroutine protocol](https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.abc.html#collections.abc.Coroutine).

 Each `coroutine.send` call is translated to a `Future::poll` call. If a [`CancelHandle`]({{#PYO3_DOCS_URL}}/pyo3/coroutine/struct.CancelHandle.html) parameter is declared, the exception passed to `coroutine.throw` call is stored in it and can be retrieved with [`CancelHandle::cancelled`]({{#PYO3_DOCS_URL}}/pyo3/coroutine/struct.CancelHandle.html#method.cancelled); otherwise, it cancels the Rust future, and the exception is reraised;

 ## Advanced Features
 
+### `experimental-async`
+
+This feature adds support for `async fn` in `#[pyfunction]` and `#[pymethods]`.
+
+The feature has some unfinished refinements and performance improvements. To help finish this off, see [issue #1632](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/issues/1632) and its associated draft PRs.
+
 ### `experimental-inspect`
 
 This feature adds the `pyo3::inspect` module, as well as `IntoPy::type_output` and `FromPyObject::type_input` APIs to produce Python type "annotations" for Rust types.
