Bug Description

Currently, TaskFlow supports DAGs as the richest structure a flow may have[1].
However, this limits adoption of TaskFlow for applications that require generic directed graph (with loops) as their underlying flow structure[2].
A simple example of such pattern is a finite automaton that allows repetition of a sequence of steps.
