//! Runtime tasks.
//!
//! Contains runtime-usable functions for spawning parallel purely computational tasks.
//!
//! NOTE: This is experimental API.
//! NOTE: When using in actual runtime, make sure you don't produce unbounded parallelism.
//! So this is bad example to use it:
//! ```rust
//!    fn my_parallel_computator(data: Vec<u8>) -> Vec<u8> {
//!        unimplemented!()
//!    }
//!    fn test(dynamic_variable: i32) {
//!        for _ in 0..dynamic_variable { sp_tasks::spawn(my_parallel_computator, vec![]); }
//!    }
//! ```
//!
//! While this is a good example:
//! ```rust
//!    use codec::Encode;
//!    static STATIC_VARIABLE: i32 = 4;
//!
//!    fn my_parallel_computator(data: Vec<u8>) -> Vec<u8> {
//!        unimplemented!()
//!    }
//!
//!    fn test(computation_payload: Vec<u8>) {
//!        let parallel_tasks = (0..STATIC_VARIABLE).map(|idx|
//!            sp_tasks::spawn(my_parallel_computator, computation_payload.chunks(10).nth(idx as _).encode())
//!        );
//!    }
//! ```
//!
//! When allowing unbounded parallelism, malicious transactions can exploit it and partition
//! network consensus based on how much resources nodes have.
//!
