 Before invoking the task, we have to release the lock, so others can
 Start new Tasks.
 
+The Scheduler just processes it's own Tasks in the main thread and needs
+the SolarMutex for it and for DeInit (tested by DBG_TESTSOLARMUTEX). All
+the other interaction just take the SchedulerMutex or don't need locking
+at all.

+There is a "workaround" for static Task objecs, which would crash LO on
+destruction, because Task::~Task would try to de-register itself in the
+Scheduler, while the SchedulerLock would be long gone. OTOH this makes
+Task handling less error-prone, than doing "special" manual cleanup.
+There is also a "= TODOs and ideas =" to get rid if static Tasks.
