Get queued task list

[fredck]

The possibility to easily retrieve the list of task names in the queue.

Something like this:

grunt.registerTask('default', ['jscs:all', 'jshint']);

// When running `grunt`
grunt.task.queue;  // ['jscs:all', 'jshint'] 

// When running `grunt default`
grunt.task.queue;  // ['jscs:all', 'jshint'] 

// When running `grunt jshint`
grunt.task.queue;  // ['jshint'] 

// When running `grunt jshint:all`
grunt.task.queue;  // ['jshint:all']

The reason behind this request is because of hacks we're doing with grunt that we're not proud of :D

And interesting aspect of this feature is that the queue property should be "live". For example:

// When running `grunt`
grunt.task.queue;  // ['default']
grunt.registerTask('default', ['jscs', 'jshint']);
// `default` is replaced in `queue` automatically
grunt.task.queue;  // ['jscs', 'jshint']

More fancy:

// When running `grunt`
grunt.task.queue;  // ['default']
grunt.registerTask('lint', ['jscs', 'jshint']);
grunt.registerTask('default', ['lint', 'build']);
// all aliases get replace to their "final/real" tasks
grunt.task.queue;  // ['jscs', 'jshint','build']

// When running `grunt lint`
grunt.task.queue;  // ['lint']
grunt.registerTask('lint', ['jscs', 'jshint']);
grunt.task.queue;  // ['jscs', 'jshint']
grunt.task.run('build');
grunt.task.queue;  // ['jscs', 'jshint', 'build']
