Research direction

Locate uvloop's loop.create_task implementation and its tests, then compare the accepted arguments with Python 3.13's asyncio.loop.create_task documentation. Done means arbitrary keyword arguments are accepted and forwarded, with tests covering the requested behavior such as eager task execution.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi I would like to make a feature request.

Is it possible to make uvloop to pass on arbitrary kwargs similar to Python3.13 event loop?

I think this feature will have some uses e.g. for specifying whether a task should run eagerly.
