Neat way to pre-initalize something in capistrano before a task is run

on :start do
verifyParametersAndInitialize()
end

callback options:

1. :before, triggered before a task is invoked
2. :after, triggered after a task is invoked
3. :start, triggered before a top-level task is invoked via the command-line
4. :finish, triggered when a top-level task completes
5. :load, triggered after all recipes have loaded
6. :exit, triggered after all tasks have completed
