Both curio and trio expose the coroutine object belonging to a task as the "coro" attribute. Asyncio exposes this as "_coro" (as does uvloop) but it would be nice to have at least a read-only attribute exposing this as part of the public API.

In some of my libraries I need this object, sometimes for debugging and other times for implementing "crazy" schemes like running parts of the the coroutine function code in a worker thread.

I've no problem with this. We can add a 'get_coro()' Task method (this is in line with asyncio usually having the "getter" api as opposed to properties).

I'll look into making a PR.
