The following code:

async def foo():
    lst = [await coro(i) for i in range(10)]
    return lst

gives

SyntaxError: 'await' outside async function

I understand that this is because the comprehensions are implemented using a function scope (see also #10544), but such behavior is unintuitive.

IMO there are two possibilities here:
1) make comprehensions behave more like a for loop;
2) change the exception text to something like "SyntaxError: 'await's in comprehensions are not supported".

I understand that the first option is probably not for 3.5 (it is beta already), but I will be happy if the second option will be implemented in 3.5
