    This is the main asynchronous class for Bot.

    It allows you to add handlers for different kind of updates.

    Usage:

    .. code-block:: python3
        :caption: Using asynchronous implementation of TeleBot.

        from telebot.async_telebot import AsyncTeleBot

        # now you can register other handlers/update listeners, 
        # and use bot methods.
        # Remember to use async/await keywords when necessary.
