        numThreads is more than zero).  When a new task is created, it
        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
        sort value).

        If tickClock is True, then this task chain will be responsible
        for ticking the global clock each frame (and thereby
        incrementing the frame counter).  There should be just one
        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.

        frameSync is true to force the task chain to sync to the
        clock.  When this flag is false, the default, the task chain
        will finish all of its tasks and then immediately start from
        the first task again, regardless of the clock frame.  When it
        is true, the task chain will finish all of its tasks and then
        wait for the clock to tick to the next frame before resuming
        the first task.  This only makes sense for threaded tasks
        chains; non-threaded task chains are automatically
        synchronous.

        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
        meaning of priority so that certain tasks are run less often,
        in proportion to their time used and to their priority value.

        Parameters:
            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. You may also pass in a coroutine
                object.

            name (str): the name to assign to the Task.  Required,
                unless you are passing in a Task object that already has
                a name.

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

            appendTask (bool): If this is true, then the task object
                itself will be appended to the end of the extraArgs list
                before calling the function.

            sort (int): 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 (int): 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 (bool): a function to call when the task
                terminates, either because it has run to completion, or
                because it has been explicitly removed.

            taskChain (str): 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
                ownermeans.

        Returns:
            The new Task object that has been added, or the original
            Task object that was passed in.
