Request: current task data on `this` within gulp.task fn.

I’d like to request some additional data on this within a gulp task’s fn. It would be very useful to have access to the currently running task without having to iterate over the this.tasks hash to find the task with the running: true flag.

Off the cuff, something like one of the following:

  this.task
  this.current
  this.currentTask

  // nvm uses a similar approach with a symlink of @current pointing at the current ver of node used.
  this.tasks.current;

How can something this basic not be a part of the API? Shit’s crazy, yo.

@noah79 this has been heavily discussed and we don’t clutter the API with things that can be pushed to the edges (where edge-cases belong). Please refrain from these sorts of comments on the issue tracker, as it just produces more noise.
