• Issue: asyncio Event Loop does not provide warning about keeping a reference to returned task #155502

The high-level :func:asyncio.create_task documentation warns that the event loop only keeps weak references to tasks and that unreferenced tasks may be garbage collected before they finish, but the low-level :meth:asyncio.loop.create_task documentation did not repeat this warning.

This mirrors the warning (including the "fire-and-forget" collection pattern and the :class:asyncio.TaskGroup alternative) in the :meth:asyncio.loop.create_task documentation, using loop.create_task in the example.
