Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a few different use cases where it would be nice to be able to change a tasks payload inside middleware.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like a way to change the payload but I haven't found a way to do that without causing other side effects.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've tried creating a new task using the NewTask method inside the middleware and passing that to the next handler's ProcessTask method. This seems to work okay but I'm not sure if all options are preserved. It also causes the task to lose it's ResultWriter which I'd like to be able to use.
