Alternate complete moves tasks to the bottom of the list to support the Autofocus methodology. When you partially work on a task in Autofocus you "scratch" the task off the list and place it again at the bottom. Andrey has mentioned that he uses Autofocus for his own work.
I tend to do what you are asking by using duplicate task. I create a copy of the task and then mark one of them complete.
