Yeah I think the usage of realtime to cover both makes sense. I followed your
precedence with task_is_realtime().

Anyway. If people really find this confusing, what would make sense is to split
them and ask users to call rt_task() and dl_task() explicitly without this
wrapper. I personally like it better with the wrapper. But happy to follow the
crowd.
