class Async::Task

def failed!(exception = false, propagate = true)

This is a very tricky aspect of tasks to get right. I've modelled it after `Thread` but it's slightly different in that the exception can propagate back up through the reactor. If the user writes code which raises an exception, that exception should always be visible, i.e. cause a failure. If it's not visible, such code fails silently and can be very difficult to debug. 
def failed!(exception = false, propagate = true)
	@result = exception
	@status = :failed
	
	if exception
		if propagate
			raise exception
		elsif @finished.nil?
			# If no one has called wait, we log this as a warning:
			Console::Event::Failure.for(exception).emit(self, "Task may have ended with unhandled exception.", severity: :warn)
		else
			Console::Event::Failure.for(exception).emit(self, severity: :debug)
		end
	end
end
