        may be associated with any of the task chains, by name (or you
        can move a task to another task chain with
        task.setTaskChain()).  You can have any number of task chains,
        but each must have a unique name.

        numThreads is the number of threads to allocate for this task
        chain.  If it is 1 or more, then the tasks on this task chain
        will execute in parallel with the tasks on other task chains.
        If it is greater than 1, then the tasks on this task chain may
        execute in parallel with themselves (within tasks of the same

        for ticking the global clock each frame (and thereby

        task chain responsible for ticking the clock, and usually it
        is the default, unnamed task chain.

        threadPriority specifies the priority level to assign to
        threads on this task chain.  It may be one of TPLow, TPNormal,
        TPHigh, or TPUrgent.  This is passed to the underlying
        threading system to control the way the threads are scheduled.

        frameBudget is the maximum amount of time (in seconds) to
        allow this task chain to run per frame.  Set it to -1 to mean
        no limit (the default).  It's not directly related to
        threadPriority.

        timeslicePriority is False in the default mode, in which each
        task runs exactly once each frame, round-robin style,
        regardless of the task's priority value; or True to change the

        immediately, or next frame if its sort value has already
        passed this frame.

        The parameters are:

        funcOrTask - either an existing Task object (not already added
        to the task manager), or a callable function object.  If this
        is a function, a new Task object will be created and returned.

        name - the name to assign to the Task.  Required, unless you
        are passing in a Task object that already has a name.

        extraArgs - the list of arguments to pass to the task
        function.  If this is omitted, the list is just the task
        object itself.

        appendTask - a boolean flag.  If this is true, then the task
        object itself will be appended to the end of the extraArgs
        list before calling the function.

        sort - the sort value to assign the task.  The default sort is
        0.  Within a particular task chain, it is guaranteed that the
        tasks with a lower sort value will all run before tasks with a
        higher sort value run.

        priority - the priority at which to run the task.  The default
        priority is 0.  Higher priority tasks are run sooner, and/or
        more often.  For historical purposes, if you specify a
        priority without also specifying a sort, the priority value is
        understood to actually be a sort value.  (Previously, there
        was no priority value, only a sort value, and it was called
        "priority".)

        uponDeath - a function to call when the task terminates,
        either because it has run to completion, or because it has
        been explicitly removed.

        taskChain - the name of the task chain to assign the task to.

        owner - an optional Python object that is declared as the
        "owner" of this task for maintenance purposes.  The owner must
        have two methods: owner._addTask(self, task), which is called
        when the task begins, and owner._clearTask(self, task), which
        is called when the task terminates.  This is all the owner
        means.

        The return value of add() is the new Task object that has been
        added, or the original Task object that was passed in.
