/// A task is a lightweight thread of execution designed to run one particular action.
///
/// Tasks can not receive messages from other processes, only send.
///
/// Calls that are allowed:
/// - Process::send
/// - GenServer::cast
///
/// Calls that would panic:
/// - Process::link
/// - Process::monitor
/// - GenServer::call
///
/// You can however return a value in a task and await it to receive the value.
///
/// It's not recommended to `await` long running tasks in a `GenServer` since it will delay processing of other messages.
/// Instead, you should send a `cast` with the result of your task and handle it in `handle_cast`.
