A single ADRIFT task checks its restrictions and if they pass it performs its actions and displays its text.
Basically it is a single IF <restrictions> THEN <perform actions and display text> ELSE <display first failing restriction message> statement.
In most cases this is all you need, but what if you want to output text both before and after the actions, or if you want to perform an action that is more complex than the one's provided by ADRIFT.
No matter what you want to do, it is possible to do it in ADRIFT by using execute-task actions to run sub-tasks that contain extra restrictions, and can operate on the result of an item function instead of the original item references.
