I'm not sure, it will at least be quite fragile, as we want to generate
unique task-ids so we can meaningfully compare tasks to determine
whether to reuse the old one or not. This requires the reserve<>()
function (template) to be able to instantiate the Task_map, and hence,
needs to see all specializations.
This ought to be possible, but it requires some thought.
