> 💡 `Task.immediate` or `Task.startImmediately` - actually sound interesting... I wonder if "immediate task" isn't a bad way to describe this, it starts immediately after all, and if it has to it'll hop somewhere 👀

I [suggested](https://forums.swift.org/t/pitch-concurrency-starting-tasks-synchronously-from-caller-context/77960/9) `Task.immediate` in the pitch thread, and still think it'd be the best name for this.
