Since 'task edit' is a data-modification operation (that is particularly
hard to cancel mid-way), it should also respect the 'bulk' option like
all the other modification operations (mod, start...).
Closes#2428.
Simlifies by offloading portion of the logic into the singleton Context
class (which has nothing to do with the task context per se, just a
implementation singleton).
The build of the docker image currently fails due to a bug unrelated to
TW [1]. This will be reverted once the issue is fixed.

Since taskwarrior is a CLI tool, it is likely that it is interacted with
programmatically. As such, expressions that a human would not type, but
are syntactically correct are bound to occur. In particular, task
currently is not able to handle empty parentheses expressions:
task +PENDING '(' ')'
This is due to "and" operator being injected between +PENDING (which
translates to '( status = pending )' and '('.
Modify the insertJunctions to not insert the 'and' operator between two
sub-expressions if one of them is an empty parentheses expression.
Closes#1896.
It could be argued we should not support this syntax (i.e. the ')'
character needs to be surrounded by a space. Note that the ability to
contain ')' as part of the attribute value was explicitly requested (as
a bug report) in TW-1455 (#1481).
Attribute names are often words from natural language (such as start,
end or entry). The ColumnTypeString supports resolving DOM references,
such that task commands like 'task add proj:3.proj' work.
However, the current implementation of the ColumnTypeString::modify
only looks at the first token to determine whether the input is a DOM
reference or not. This mischaracterizes inputs like 'task add
"description:start something"', where the first token of the attribute
value looks like a DOM reference (the 'start' attribute), but is in
fact, a part of larger string.
Since all DOM references are single tokens, only interpret the input as
a possible DOM reference if and only if one token was found.
Closes#1908.
these libararies are not installed so don't leave the decision up to
enviroment which might build shared libraries resulting in binary
with missing deps after installation
Fixes#2403
