`ensure_future` converts the input as future if it's not already a future.
The condition is the following:

if futures.isfuture(coro_or_future):
    ...
elif coroutines.iscoroutine(coro_or_future):
    ...
elif inspect.isawaitable(coro_or_future):
    ...

In real world, `ensure_future` is mostly called by `run_until_complete` and gather with async function call (coroutine) as input.
We should check `iscoroutine` first to make it most efficient.

Benchmark result:
./python.exe -m perf compare_to ensure_future_original.json ensure_future_optimized.json
Mean +- std dev: [ensure_future_original] 57.4 ms +- 4.0 ms -> [ensure_future_optimized] 49.3 ms +- 4.5 ms: 1.17x faster (-14%)
