Description

Currently, the delay() function accepts a function name (eg tiger.delay(tasks.my_task, ...)), which means that the submitter must have visibility into the worker code. Other task queue systems allow submitting tasks by passing a string representing the function to call, eg

tiger.delay('tasks.my_task', ...)

this decouples the submitter from the worker. Is something like this possible with tasktiger?

Research direction

Start by reading the delay() entry point and the worker task-dispatch path. Determine how task references are currently serialized and resolved, then define what support for a string such as "tasks.my_task" would require and how completion would be verified.
