Task Explorer in Side Bar

[TheFabbiusCorp]

It would be great to have the list of .vscode/tasks.json on a section in the Side Bar, such as in the Test Explorer.
I'm currently using an extension that renders the tasks in the Status Bar, but it gets quite crowded quickly.

One other benefit of this would be the possibility to run tasks right from a "Play" button on the task line of the Task Explorer, similar to what currently happens with tests in the Test Explorer.

Maybe adding subfolders to gather each set of tasks would even be better; however, I guess this would mean changing the way the JSON is parsed by VSCode since one could define the folder as a list of tasks in the tasks.json itself.

Thanks @gjsjohnmurray for pointing to the proper issue. I tried to look for existing issues but, due to the huge amount of "tasks" labels I could not find that one. Any updates on that issue?
