-//! Demo of scheduling a periodic task using the priority scheduler.
-//! 
-//! One potential direction for future testing could be the following:
-//! Let the program take in arguments `n` and `p1` ... `pm`. 
-//! For each `p_i`, we:
-//! 1. spawn a task with period `pi`
-//! 2. Let each spawned task run for `n` complete periods.
-//! 3. Use`hpet()` to measure the time elapsed between successive executions of each task. 
-//! 4. Calculate statistics on how much the time between successive calls
-//!    to the timing statement deviates from the expected time, i.e. the period `pi`.
-//!    * This is one way to assess the accuracy of the `sleep` function.
