task
Gets a Result from the currently managed tasks by the supplied name.
IMPORTANT: Will return null if there is no task with such a name that is being managed by Threads.
The returned Result object can be used to then cancel execution or get (and block for) a result. If getting a result that you actually want, storing the Result returned by the start methods will use the proper generic type, as this method only returns unbounded types.
Return
the (unbounded) task Result, if found
Parameters
the name ID of the task to get, must be managed by Threads
