If you have Start and Finish entries, you don't need terminate alternative.
Use Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled as the base. Make task an access to
task component. Initialize should allocate the task. You don't need Start
entry at all. (The only use for Start is passing additional parameters to
the task) From Finalize you call to Finish and then free the task. The
constructing function *shall* not use pointers.
