task_join(t, @optional timeout, timeout_val)
Causes the current task to wait until the task t
terminates (normally or not) or until the
timeout
is reached (if timeout
is supplied). If timeout
is reached,
return timeout_val
(if it is supplied), otherwise a join-timeout-exception
object
is raised. If t
terminated normally, the content of its end-result
field is
returned, otherwise the content of its end-exception
field is raised. (Both these fields are private to
the task object and cannot be accesses through other means).
