In my case I want to wait for task completion, Not until it is almost
completed. The code that has to wait for the task completion want to
clean up resources when that task is terminated. If these resources
are cleaned up before that, it will certainlly lead to erroneous execution.
In my case I want to clean up the task object itself by using
ada.unchecked_deallocation.
