/// A [`Task`] can be awaited to retrieve the output of its future.

/// Dropping a [`Task`] cancels it, which means its future won't be polled again. To drop the

/// task gracefully and wait until it is fully destroyed, use the [`cancel()`][Task::cancel()]

///
/// Note that canceling a task actually wakes it and reschedules one last time. Then, the executor

/// [`run()`][`super::Runnable::run()`].
