/*
Module: task
Task management.
An executing Rust program consists of a tree of tasks, each with their own
stack, and sole ownership of their allocated heap data. Tasks communicate
with each other using ports and channels.
When a task fails, that failure will propagate to its parent (the task
that spawned it) and the parent will fail as well. The reverse is not
true: when a parent task fails its children will continue executing. When
the root (main) task fails, all tasks fail, and then so does the entire
process.
A task may remove itself from this failure propagation mechanism by
calling the <unsupervise> function, after which failure will only
result in the termination of that task.
Tasks may execute in parallel and are scheduled automatically by the runtime.
Example:
> spawn {||
> log(debug, "Hello, World!");
> };
