+/// # Examples
+///
+/// The following is an example of getting the PID of the current thread with zero additional cost

+/// # Invariants

+/// Each value of this type must only be accessed from the task context it was created within.
+///
+/// Of course, every thread is in a different task context, but for the purposes of this invariant,

+/// * Returning to userspace from system call context.
+/// * Calling `release_task()`.
+/// * Calling `begin_new_exec()` in a binary format loader.
+///
+/// Other operations temporarily create a new sub-context:
+///
+/// * Calling `kthread_use_mm()` creates a new context, and `kthread_unuse_mm()` returns to the
+/// old context.
+///
+/// This means that a `CurrentTask` obtained before a `kthread_use_mm()` call may be used again
+/// once `kthread_unuse_mm()` is called, but it must not be used between these two calls.
