/**
 * Run composed `tasks` callback functions in series.
 * Results from a **task** are passed to the next task.
 * Passed or thrown errors in tasks get trapped with
 * functions of arity 3 `function (err, res, cb)` called here **trap**.
 * In case that there is no previous error, a **trap** acts as "no-op".
 * In case that no **trap** is defined then the chain exits to an optional `callback`.
 *
 * @name connect
 * @memberOf module:serial
 * @static
 * @method
 * @param {...Function|Array} tasks - Arguments or Array of callback functions of type **task**
 * `function (arg: any, cb: function)` or **trap** `function (err: <Error>, arg: any, cb: function)` where
 * `arg` - an argument which is passed from one task to the other
 * `err` - a trapped error from previous tasks
 * `cb` - the callback function which needs to be called on completion
 * @return {Function} composed function of `function (arg, cb)` where
 * `arg` - initial argument which is passed from one task to the other
 * `[callback]` - optional callback function `function(err: <Error>, res: any)`
 * @example
 * var c = connect(
 *   (res, cb) => { cb(null, res + 1) },      // task
 *   (err, res, cb) => { cb(null, res + 3) }, // trap - "no-op" here as there is no previous error
 *   (res, cb) => { cb(null, res * 2) }       // task
 * )
 * c(2, function (err, res) {
 *   //> err = null
 *   //> res = 6
 * })
 *
 * @example <caption>With error traps</caption>
 * var c = connect(
 *   (res, cb) => { cb('error', res + 1) },   // task - error is passed to next task
 *   (res, cb) => { cb(null, res * 2) },      // task - "no-op", jumps over this task due to previous error
 *   (err, res, cb) => { cb(null, res + 3) }, // trap - error gets trapped here (arity === 3)
 *   (res, cb) => { cb(null, res * 2) }       // task - continues
 * )
 * c(2, function (err, res) {
 *   //> err = null
 *   //> res = 12
 * })
