Run specific task(s) with force option

I see that several plug-ins have added a force option, for example:
https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-jshint#force
https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-clean#force

But it would be useful to have a general-purpose way of doing this at the grunt level. Here's what I'm currently doing for a workaround:

grunt.registerTask('usetheforce_on',

 'force the force option on if needed', 

 function() {

  if ( !grunt.option( 'force' ) ) {

    grunt.config.set('usetheforce_set', true);

    grunt.option( 'force', true );

  }

});

grunt.registerTask('usetheforce_restore', 

  'turn force option off if we have previously set it', 

  function() {

  if ( grunt.config.get('usetheforce_set') ) {

    grunt.option( 'force', false );

  }

});

grunt.registerTask( 'myspecialsequence',  [

  'usetheforce_on', 

  'task_that_might_fail_and_we_do_not_care', 

  'another_task', 

  'usetheforce_restore', 

  'qunit', 

  'task_that_should_not_run_after_failed_unit_tests'

] );

Is there a better workaround? If not, would you consider adding a feature for this?
