Creating a task automatically schedules it for execution (by adding a
callback to run it in the event loop's to-do list, that is, collection of jobs).

Since there's only one event loop (in each thread), :mod:`!asyncio` takes care of
associating the task with the event loop for you. As such, there's no need
to specify the event loop.
:mod:`!asyncio` automatically associates tasks with the event loop for you.
This automatic association was purposely designed into :mod:`!asyncio` for
the sake of simplicity.
Without it, you'd have to keep track of the event loop object and pass it to
any coroutine function that wants to create tasks, adding redundant clutter
to your code.
