+///
+/// # Invariants
+///
+/// All instances are valid tasks created by the C portion of the kernel.
+///
+/// Instances of this type are always ref-counted, that is, a call to `get_task_struct` ensures
+/// that the allocation remains valid at least until the matching call to `put_task_struct`.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// The following is an example of getting the PID of the current thread with zero additional cost
+/// when compared to the C version:
+///
+/// ```
+/// let pid = current!().pid();
+/// ```
+///
+/// Getting the PID of the current process, also zero additional cost:
+///
+/// ```
+/// let pid = current!().group_leader().pid();
+/// ```
+///
+/// Getting the current task and storing it in some struct. The reference count is automatically
+/// incremented when creating `State` and decremented when it is dropped:
+///
+/// ```
+/// use kernel::{task::Task, types::ARef};
+///
+/// struct State {
+///     creator: ARef<Task>,
+///     index: u32,
+/// }
+///
+/// impl State {
+///     fn new() -> Self {
+///         Self {
+///             creator: current!().into(),
+///             index: 0,
+///         }
