fun <T> Task<T>.asDeferred(): Deferred<T>

Converts this task to an instance of Deferred. If task is cancelled then resulting deferred will be cancelled as well.

fun <T> Task<T>.asDeferred(cancellationTokenSource: CancellationTokenSource): Deferred<T>

Converts this task to an instance of Deferred with a CancellationTokenSource to control cancellation. The cancellation of this function is bi-directional:
