Yes, it would be pretty cool.
However, couldn't the syntax be directly that of blocking asio calls?

coro::future<error_type, iterator_type> future(self);
resolver.async_resolve(query, coro::make_callback(future));
coro::wait(future);

is really the same thing as

tuple<error_type, iterator_type> result = resolver.resolve(query);
