Description
I think jextract needs to be aware of this type and we should have a lib type for it, including some future returning "awaitable" funcs for the Java side.
This is uncommon to return tasks rather than do asynchronous funcs, but it does happen sometimes.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the jextract implementation and how it currently represents Swift concurrency types. Investigate _Concurrency.Task and the requested Java-side awaitable functions, then define the required generated library type and behavior. Done means Task-returning APIs are represented appropriately for Java callers.
