Better support for Cloud Tasks, e.g. queues
It is currently already possible to create google cloud tasks. However, this could be better integrated by creating an abstraction for queues, for example, which can also be monitored and controlled via the admin console and firebase emulator.

In the Google Cloud Console there is a dashboard which shows your Cloud Tasks queues and allows to manage them!
I believe it's https://console.cloud.google.com/cloudtasks
Emulator support would be nice though

The main use case of queues for me are long background processes, which are very important for the application. Here the visibility of the process with all parameters is crucial, i.e. when was the process triggered by whom and with which parameters. It should be possible to react to errors in the process (what happens if the process is aborted) and to restart the process at any time. An overview in the Firebase Console and the Firebase Emulator would be useful for this.

What kind of functionality do you have in mind that goes beyond what's supported by task queue functions (https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/task-functions)?
Is it just that you'd like to see more information about the task queues in the Firebase Console and have full emulator support for them, or is there more that's missing?
