Hello, I like much addTaskCallback() and friends. However, there are situations were we would like to have a function run BEFORE, not after every top-level tasks. I think specifically to reset options(width = ) to accommodate to the current width of the console, using something like:
options(width = system("tput cols")) I am sure there are many other situations where this could be useful. Combining tasks run before and after evaluation, one could design a system to (remotely) indicate when a given R kernel is starting/evaluating/ending evaluation of some code (with Rpad in mind, for instance). How difficult would it be to implement such Tasks run before top-level ones?
