// TTask is a base class that can be used to build a complex tree of Tasks.
// Each TTask derived class may contain other TTasks that can be executed
// recursively, such that a complex program can be dynamically built and executed
// by invoking the services of the top level Task or one of its subtasks.
//
// Use the TTask::Add function to add a subtask to an existing TTask.
// To execute a TTask, one calls the ExecuteTask function. ExecuteTask will
// call recursively:
//     - the TTask::Exec function of the derived class
//     - TTask::ExecuteTasks to execute for each task the list of its subtasks.
// If the top level task (see example below) is added to the list of Root
// browsable objects, the tree of tasks can be visualized by the Root browser.
// The browser can be used to start a task, set break points at the beginning
// of a task or when the task has completed. At a breakpoint, data structures
// generated by the execution up this point may be inspected asyncronously
// and then the execution can be resumed by selecting the "Continue" function
// of a task.
//
// A Task may be active or inactive (controlled by TTask::SetActive).
// When a task is not active, its sub tasks are not executed.
//
// A TTask tree may be made persistent, saving the status of all the tasks.
//
// The picture in the Root browser below has been generated by executing
// the following script:
//
