This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in future versions
of Python. Technically, it could be considered a bug (invalid usage
causing different behaviour from the expected one), and in practice
it should not break much code (because .get_event_loop() would likely
be the same event loop anyway).
It's the only way to properly clean all background tasks,
which the library makes heavy use for in MTProto/Connection
send and receive loops.
Some parts of the code even relied on the fact that it was
asynchronous (it used to return a future so you could await
it and not be breaking).
It's automatically syncified to reduce the damage of being
a breaking change.
