#[doc = "
Convert the current task to a 'weak' task temporarily

As a weak task it will not be counted towards the runtime's set
of live tasks. When there are no more outstanding live (non-weak) tasks
the runtime will send an exit message on the provided channel.

This function is super-unsafe. Do not use.

# Safety notes

* Weak tasks must either die on their own or exit upon receipt of
  the exit message. Failure to do so will cause the runtime to never
  exit
* Tasks must not call `weaken_task` multiple times. This will
  break the kernel's accounting of live tasks.
* Weak tasks must not be supervised. A supervised task keeps
  a reference to its parent, so the parent will not die.
