• The method can be used for selecting tasks by the property value, e.g. find tasks of a specific user, find completed tasks, etc.
• Tasks of the project type are not iterated.
• gantt.getTaskBy(propertyName, propertyValue) uses loose equality check ("double equals", ==)
• The result of gantt.getTaskBy(propertyName, propertyValue) can be cached by gantt, thus this overload can work faster than gantt.getTaskBy((task: object) => boolean)
