That's easy. You can always use costart() to adapt a cofunction
for use with something expecting a generator-based coroutine,
e.g.

codef my_task_func(arg):
   ...

my_task = Task(costart(my_task_func, arg))

If you're willing to make changes, Task() et al could be made to
recognise cofunctions and apply costart() where needed.
