Perform the given task.
As an interface, this method makes no specific claims about concurrent
execution. An L{IWorker}'s C{do} implementation may defer execution
for later on the same thread, immediately on a different thread, or
some combination of the two. It is valid for a C{do} method to
schedule C{task} in such a way that it may never be executed.
It is important for some implementations to provide specific properties
with respect to where C{task} is executed, of course, and client code
may rely on a more specific implementation of C{do} than L{IWorker}.
