Description

Allowing function as argument to `start`, `serial`, and `parallel` would allow tasks to be composed without having to export everything including tasks that are not meant to be called directly.

```js
function * build(task) {
yield task.parallel([js, css]);
}

// "internal" functions
function * js(task) {}
function * css(task) {}

module.exports = {
build
};
```

Research direction

Start by locating the implementations and existing tests for start, serial, and parallel. Check how exported tasks are currently invoked, then define the behavior for passing generator functions directly; done means the shown build example composes internal js and css functions without exporting them and the relevant tests pass.
