OTScheduleDeferredTask When Task Running

Q: What happens when you use OTScheduleDeferredTask to schedule a task that is running?

A: The "Open Transport Client Note" mentions that OTScheduleDeferredTask returns false when you attempt to schedule a task that is already scheduled, but it doesn't say anything about what happens if the task is running. It turns out that a task that is running is not consider to be scheduled, so OTScheduleDeferredTask will successfully reschedule it.
