+.. class:: AsyncExitStack()
+
+   An :ref:`asynchronous context manager <async-context-managers>`, similar
+   to :class:`ExitStack`, that supports combining both synchronous and
+   asynchronous context managers, as well as having coroutines for
+   cleanup logic.

+   The :meth:`close` method is not implemented, :meth:`aclose` must be used
+   instead.

+      manager.
+
+   .. method:: push_async_exit(exit)
+
+      Similar to :meth:`push` but expects either an asynchronous context manager

+   .. method:: push_async_callback(callback, *args, **kwds)
+
+      Similar to :meth:`callback` but expects a coroutine.

+
+      Similar to :meth:`close` but properly handles awaitables.
+
+   Continuing the example for :func:`asynccontextmanager`::

+          # later in the list raise an exception.
