We don't have any at the moment, but the idea would be things like
static analysis of source code, building of images for testing or other
potentially useful tasks that aren't necessarily checks.

The idea was to have something that could be used as a somewhat-generic
(but not something so generic as to be useless) automation platform.

Yeah, consistency is important. Personally, I'm ok with leaving stuff
like libtaskotron.check for the moment - that's what we're working on.
Do you think that changing things over to TaskDetail etc. would make
taskotron easier to understand?
