+    Create ``n`` separate asynchronous iterators over ``iterable``
+
+    This splits a single ``iterable`` into multiple iterators, each providing
+    the same items in the same order.
+    All child iterators may advance separately but share the same items
+    from ``iterable`` -- when the most advanced iterator retrieves an item,
+    it is buffered until the least advanced iterator has yielded it as well.
+    A ``tee`` works lazily and can handle an infinite ``iterable``, provided
+    that all iterators advance.

+            await a.anext(previous)  # advance one iterator
+            return a.map(operator.sub, previous, current)
+
+    Unlike :py:func:`itertools.tee`, :py:func:`~.tee` returns a custom type instead
+    of a :py:class:`tuple`. Like a tuple, it can be indexed, iterated and unpacked
+    to get the child iterators. In addition, its :py:meth:`~.tee.aclose` method
+    immediately closes all children, and it can be used in an ``async with`` context
+    for the same effect.
+
+    If ``iterable`` is an iterator and read elsewhere, ``tee`` will *not*
+    provide these items. Also, ``tee`` must internally buffer each item until the
+    last iterator has yielded it; if the most and least advanced iterator differ
+    by most data, using a :py:class:`list` is more efficient (but not lazy).
+
+    If the underlying iterable is concurrency safe (``anext`` may be awaited
+    concurrently) the resulting iterators are concurrency safe as well. Otherwise,
+    the iterators are safe if there is only ever one single "most advanced" iterator.
+    To enforce sequential use of ``anext``, provide a ``lock``
+    - e.g. an :py:class:`asyncio.Lock` instance in an :py:mod:`asyncio` application -
+    and access is automatically synchronised.
