  # #########################################################################
  # A Task is the basic unit of work in a Rakefile.  Tasks have associated
  # actions (possibly more than one) and a list of prerequisites.  When
  # invoked, a task will first ensure that all of its prerequisites have an
  # opportunity to run and then it will execute its own actions.
  #
  # Tasks are not usually created directly using the new method, but rather
  # use the +file+ and +task+ convenience methods.
