+Convert the current task to a 'weak' task temporarily
+
+As a weak task it will not be counted towards the runtime's set
+of live tasks. When there are no more outstanding live (non-weak) tasks
+the runtime will send an exit message on the provided channel.
+
+This function is super-unsafe. Do not use.
+
+# Safety notes
+
+* Weak tasks must either die on their own or exit upon receipt of
+  the exit message. Failure to do so will cause the runtime to never
+  exit
+* Tasks must not call `weaken_task` multiple times. This will
+  break the kernel's accounting of live tasks.
+* Weak tasks must not be supervised. A supervised task keeps
+  a reference to its parent, so the parent will not die.
