I see there is a function CRM_Core_Component::taskList( ) which looks like it can return a list of tasks to be added to the array of contact search tasks. However, I'm not clear how to make my component actually add a task here?

If you want to add a new task for a component (say CiviEvent), the place to do it is CRM/Event/Task.php

I'll look at creating a Task.php file. Note, I am talking about my own add-on component, with which I am trying to inject some additional tasks into CiviCRM Core, not modifying an existing component.

It looks to me like a problem in CRM/Core/Component.php: $info[$name] is an object not an array, so CRM_Utils_Array::value('task', $info[$name]) never returns anything. I was able to change it according to the following patch, and add a task to my component's info array. Is this how it was intended to work?
