#[doc( brief = "Communication between tasks", desc = " Communication between tasks is facilitated by ports (in the receiving task), and channels (in the sending task). Any number of channels may feed into a single port. Ports and channels may only transmit values of unique types; that is, values that are statically guaranteed to be accessed by a single 'owner' at a time. Unique types include scalars, vectors, strings, and records, tags, tuples and unique boxes (`~T`) thereof. Most notably, shared boxes (`@T`) may not be transmitted across channels.
