There's a difference, and a significant one, between manipulating task
instances (ie instances of objects of a particular task type) and tasks --
the entire definition of which is contained in a Task object and which is
reflected into the task instance at runtime.
AntEater doesn't make you go through nested hashtables. You can get Targets
from a Project, and get the Tasks from that Project. The hashtables that you
probably looked at are the internal data structures that the task class
definitions live in. Much different.
