The returned task will complete when any of the supplied tasks has completed. The returned task will always end in the `RanToCompletion` state with its `Result` set to the first task to complete. The result value is `true` even if the first task to complete ended in the `Canceled` or `Faulted` state.

> In every overload of Task.WhenAny(), when the method returns the first completed task, the other tasks will continue running until completion, even if any of them completed in the `Canceled` or `Faulted` state. If that behavior is undesirable, you can cancel all the remaining tasks once the first task completes.
