  This directive readies the task, specified by ${.:/params[0]/name}, for
  execution based on the priority and execution mode specified when the task
  was created.  The entry point of the task is given in ${.:/params[1]/name}.
  The task's entry point argument is contained in ${.:/params[2]/name}.

notes: |
  The type of the entry point argument is an unsigned integer type.  However,
  the integer type has the property that any valid pointer to ``void`` can be
  converted to this type and then converted back to a pointer to ``void``.  The
  result will compare equal to the original pointer.  The type can represent at
  least 32 bits.  Some applications use the entry point argument as an index
  into a parameter table to get task-specific parameters.

  Any actions performed on a dormant task such as suspension or change of
  priority are nullified when the task is initiated via the ${start:/name}
  directive.
