 *   <title>Asynchronous operations</title>
 *   <para>
 *     The most common usage of #GTask is as a #GAsyncResult, to
 *     manage data during an asynchronous operation. You call
 *     g_task_new() in the "start" method, followed by
 *     g_task_set_task_data() and the like if you need to keep some
 *     additional data associated with the task, and then pass the
 *     task object around through your asynchronous operation.
 *     Eventually, you will call a method such as
 *     g_task_return_pointer() or g_task_return_error(), which will
 *     save the value you give it and then invoke the task's callback
 *     function (waiting until the next iteration of the main
 *     loop first, if necessary). The caller will pass the #GTask back
 *     to the operation's finish function (as a #GAsyncResult), and
 *     you can use g_task_propagate_pointer() or the like to extract
 *     the return value.

 *       guarantees that it will always run your

 *       Since g_task_propagate_pointer() "steals" the return value from

 *       With #GSimpleAsyncResult, it was common to call
