## Values

| Name | Value | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cold | 0 | Return a task which hasn't been scheduled yet. This allows the caller to execute the task synchronously. Do not use this option unless you know what you are doing. |
| Hot | 1 | Return a task which has been scheduled, but which is not necessarily running yet. This is the option most in line with the 'good practice' recommendations within TPL. |
