Software tasks can also be assigned priorities and, under the hood, are
dispatched from interrupt handlers. RTIC requires that free interrupts are
declared in an `extern` block when using software tasks; some of these free

interrupts will be used to dispatch the software tasks. An advantage of software
tasks over hardware tasks is that many tasks can be mapped to a single interrupt
handler.
Software tasks are also declared using the `task` attribute but the `binds`

The example below showcases three software tasks that run at 2 different
priorities. The three software tasks are mapped to 2 interrupts handlers.
