Well, that's kind of why I'm posting here. I'm not sure what the right
approach to dynamically dispatching an entry to one of N different tasks
might be. Someone earlier mentioned using "requeue", but that seems to
suffer the same problems. I've thought of any number of different
approaches, and they're all ugly, since the point is to have a bunch of
different tasks running, and all the alternate approaches involve not
dealing with tasks.

It seems Ada isn't quite as orthogonal as could be hoped.
