Unused?

Done.

Should we have a variant of this that takes a Task? Otherwise
CancellableTaskClosure isn't really compatible with this.

[alex clarke (OOO till 29th), 2015/01/26 17:00:45]

I think WebScheduler::postLoadingTask() takes care of that?

[rmcilroy, 2015/01/26 18:09:01]

Would it be worth only having the WebThread::Task API and exposing ClosureRunner
at the same level as CancelableTaskFactory to enable clients to build Tasks
easily?  This would keep the API consistent.

Done.
