Description

Add support for specifying one or more task dependencies, ie. tasks that should run to completion before another starts. This adds arbitrary many possibilities to implement complex data flows, like pipelines, map-reduce etc.

Must be able to wait for N tasks to complete (not just one).

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how tasks are submitted and how workers mark them complete, then determine how multiple prerequisites and their completion states should be represented. Done means a task can wait for any specified number of dependencies, enabling chains and more complex flows such as pipelines or map-reduce.
