Suggested alternative to gulp.series and gulp.parallel

I think that the following syntax would be much cleaner and much more intuitive way of running tasks in series or in parallel. It makes the composition of tasks much more fluid, with less boilerplate

gulp.task('default',
    ['parallel1', 'parallel2'],
    'series1',
    'series2',
    ['parallel3', 'parallel4'],
    function () {
        //do some work here after all dependencies have been run
    }
);

Here is how it would process:

1. run parallel1 and parallel2 in parallel
2. Run series1
3. Run series2
4. Run parallel3 and parallel4 in parallel.
5. run the function now that all required tasks have been run.

Yeah, you could do this yourself with a 1 line module

const sugar = (...a) =>
  gulp.series(...a.map((i) => Array.isArray(i) ? gulp.parallel(...i) : i)

gulp.task('default', sugar(
    ['parallel1', 'parallel2'],
    'series1',
    'series2',
    ['parallel3', 'parallel4'],
    function () {
        //do some work here after all dependencies have been run
    }
));

Again, no. This goes into userland.
