//:Task abstraction
// A task represents a thread of execution. All tasks run within the same
// address space but have their own stack and program counter. Tasks may be
// created and deleted dynamically.
//
// <p>Users create tasks by:
// <ol><li>Deriving a new class based on OsTask or one of its descendants,
//    and overriding the run() method in the derived class.</li>
// <li>Calling the constructor for the derived class.</li>
// <li>Invoking the start() method for the derived class.  This creates
//    the corresponding low-level OS task and associates it with the class.</li>
// </ol>
// <p>Note: Many of the methods in this class are only applicable once the
// start() method for the object has been called and the corresponding
// low-level task has been created.  Accordingly, before a successful call
// to start(), most of the methods in this class return the
// OS_TASK_NOT_STARTED status.
//
// <p>Note: carefully read documentation for ackShutdown() and waitUntilShutDown()
//           methods, or you may get deadlocks.
