Not so easy to find a satisfactory generic approach. An argument can also be 10 MiB length bytes array, a dictionary with 10,000 elements, HTML page, name it. All these objects are printable but their representation is too verbose. Task can have a dozen of arguments, only the latest may be meaningful for logically separating one task from others. Task has a name exactly for the purpose of distinguishing similar but different tasks, please use it. Only the task creator knows how to name it better.
