So this in itself looks reasonable in theory, but I have to warn you that when 
we switch to tinfoil2 [1] these commits are going to be done via the metadata 
instead, and beyond a possible hack that I'd really rather not think about 
it's going to be a bit difficult to intercept the prefuncs/postfuncs there. At 
least they will be executed though since with tinfoil2 we'll be going through 
a much more standard path to run the tasks.

Cheers,
Paul
