Polymorphic Task
summary
Implements a polymorphic task template that stores any one-shot callable like std::function but supports moving out payloads (unique_ptr) and uses placement new to choose between inline storage and heap allocation. Design includes a small-object optimization and an added virtualized move operation so move construction works via the concept interface. Prototype uses unique_ptr for large models, invokes via virtual invoke, and benchmarks reveal one extra pointer per invocation in some standard-library implementations which is reported for fixing.
