Btw, the following lines and WILL NOT work as expected.
Due to too much lamda nesting, the code within the task is NOT executed:
```kotlin
fun Prov.myCustomTask() = { task { /* ... code and subtasks come here ... */ } }
fun Prov.myCustomTask() {{ task { /* ... code and subtasks come here ... */ } }}

### TaskWithResult
In case you want explicitly to include the return value (of type `ProvResult`) of a task to be added to the evaluation,
you need to use `taskWithResult` instead of `task` and return the intended value, e.g. like
### Add custom results
If you want to add a result explicitly, you can use method `addResultToEval`.
This maxy be used e.g. to add explicitly an error line, like in:
```kotlin
fun Prov.myCustomTask() = task {
/* some other code ... */
addResultToEval(ProvResult(false, err = "my error msg"))
/* some other code ... */
}
```
or alternatively you can use `taskWithResult`.
