Tasker plugin callback

Hi Jamie,

I would like to request a callback feature for waiting Tasker/Locale plugin execution like "Wait until trigger" action.

You know, some plugins take toooooo much time to proceed their functions. In my cases, Termux: tasker, TouchTask, Auto input and ContactsTask need 5 to 10 seconds for returning values to MD.
While waiting plugins, MD seems to wait holding, less returning the task to OS task manager. Therefore, as a dependency, those plugins become slower, and MD waiting time become longer... Finally, MD sometimes crashes due to time slice control of OS task manager.
If MD released the task immediately after calling a plugin, and just sleeping for a while until catching the intent, it might be much faster.
I'm not sure what happened exactly at that moment. However I feel calling plugin action became slower than certain MD versions released in last year. I don't think it depends on MD itself, but it might improve entire macro execution performance.

Cheers,
