The trouble is this doesn't make warnings behave exactly as errors and
I think that is going to confuse people :/.
Specifically, if an error is encountered in a task, it will error and
fail. The warning will show an error but continue anyway. I also
suspect the warnings will still show as warnings in the log files and
only appear as errors on the console.
Cheers,
Richard
