Function convert_yielded

Convert a yielded object into a `.Future`. The default implementation accepts lists, dictionaries, and Futures. This has the side effect of starting any coroutines that did not start themselves, similar to `asyncio.ensure_future`. If the `~functools.singledispatch` library is avail
