Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When tasks fail, they are documented to return error, these errors then get put in redis next to the retry. It would be nice if we could hook into this return process and execute custom "middleware" on returned errors (sentry, logging, etc).

Describe the solution you'd like
A function like func HandleErr(err error) error that is run as "middleware" when a worker returns an error.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Of course you can just log all the errors manually before returning them, but this decentralizes management of these errors and would require dragging a sentry/log client through many functions.
