Currently, the documentation of asyncio.wait gives the impression that using FIRST_COMPLETED guarantees the completion of no more than one task. In reality, the number of completed task after asyncio.wait can be larger than one.

While this behavior (exactly one complete task if no error or cancellation occurred) would be ultimately desirable, a sentence describing the current behavior would be helpful for new users of asyncio.
