	/// The TaskManager manages a collection of tasks
	/// and monitors their lifetime.
	///
	/// A TaskManager has a built-in NotificationCenter that
	/// is used to send out notifications on task progress
	/// and task states. See the TaskNotification class and its
	/// subclasses for the various events that result in a notification.
	/// To keep the number of notifications small, a TaskProgressNotification
	/// will only be sent out once in 100 milliseconds.
