   > Here is why:
   > 
   > ```
   > # makes sense, s1/t1 wrap w1
   > s1.as_setup() >> w1 >> t1.as_teardown(s1)
   > 
   > # later in the file...
   > s1 >> w2 >> t1
   > ```

   > Should I `s1.as_setup()` again? If I don't, what happens when I remove the 
original w1 lines `as_setup`? Keeping it during task instantiation avoids this 
problem. I don't find the "easier to convert" thing to be that big of a deal. 
Taskflow reuse is a valid concern though, but having a setup and non-setup 
share implementation isn't that difficult to pull off.
   
   Re "should I..."... No need to do this of course, since we already set the 
property on the object.  And yes if you change the code, you change the 
behavior :)  I think the same argument applies with class method really: "What 
happens if I remove the as_setup".  I.e., I am not sure I see how the concern 
is materially different based on whether the property is set at instantiation 
or after.  But, being able to set it after allows for this added convenience.
   
   I would moreover say that when we call `t.as_teardown(my_task)` that we 
should mark my_task as a setup too.  I am not seeing any reason not to.  This 
adds a lot of convenince and reduces boilerplate.  Then in one line you have 
things configured.
   
   ```
   my_s >> my_w >> my_t.as_teardown(my_s)
   ```
   
   No other changes to the dag required.
