Current behavior has a subtle pitfall. The function returns a list of existing tasks (not removed by decref or explicit call). If user's code has a strong reference to some task the task will be in return list for unpredictable amount of time, even if the task was done. Returning only alive tasks can make a function result more predictable (`not task.done()`). Opinions?

Current behavior has a subtle pitfall.
The function returns a list of *existing* tasks (not removed by decref or explicit call).
If user's code has a strong reference to some task the task will be in return list for unpredictable amount of time, even if the task was done.

Returning only *alive* tasks can make a function result more predictable (`not task.done()`).
