 * \brief Remove a scheduler entry
 *
 * This is a loop construct to ensure that
 * the scheduled task get deleted. The idea is that
 * if we loop attempting to remove the scheduled task,
 * then whatever callback had been running will complete
 * and reinsert the task into the scheduler.
 *
 * Since macro expansion essentially works like pass-by-name
 * parameter passing, this macro will still work correctly even
 * if the id of the task to delete changes. This holds as long as 
 * the name of the id which could change is passed to the macro 
 * and not a copy of the value of the id.
