// Run a task; returns when the task is done, or the workers yield,

// A task that has been yielded can be continued via this interface
// by using the same task repeatedly as the argument to the call.
// It is expected that the YieldingFlexibleGangTask carries the appropriate
// continuation information used by workers to continue the task
// from its last yield point. Thus, a completed task will return
// immediately with no actual work having been done by the workers.

/*
Each gang is working on a task at a certain time.
Some subset of workers may have yielded and some may
have finished their quota of work. Until this task has
been completed, the workers are bound to that task.
Once the task has been completed, the gang unbounds
itself from the task.

The yielding work gang thus exports two invokation
interfaces: run_task() and continue_task(). The
first is used to initiate a new task and bind it
to the workers; the second is used to continue an
already bound task that has yielded. Upon completion
the binding is released and a new binding may be
created.

The shape of a yielding work gang is as follows:

Overseer invokes run_task(*task).
   Lock gang monitor
   Check that there is no existing binding for the gang
   If so, abort with an error
   Else, create a new binding of this gang to the given task
   Set number of active workers (as asked)
   Notify workers that work is ready to be done
     [the requisite # workers would then start up
      and do the task]
   Wait on the monitor until either
     all work is completed or the task has yielded
     -- this is normally done through
        yielded + completed == active
        [completed workers are rest to idle state by overseer?]
   return appropriate status to caller

Overseer invokes continue_task(*task),
   Lock gang monitor
   Check that task is the same as current binding
   If not, abort with an error
   Else, set the number of active workers as requested?
   Notify workers that they can continue from yield points
    New workers can also start up as required
      while satisfying the constraint that
         active + yielded does not exceed required number
   Wait (as above).

NOTE: In the above, for simplicity in a first iteration
  our gangs will be of fixed population and will not
  therefore be flexible work gangs, just yielding work
  gangs. Once this works well, we will in a second
  iteration.refinement introduce flexibility into
  the work gang.

NOTE: we can always create a new gang per each iteration
  in order to get the flexibility, but we will for now
  desist that simplified route.
