Just some minor stuff:

1) Don't overwrite the message of all Workflow Task Exceptions to say "Something went wrong"
2) log errors when correlation evaluations fail (just so we are aware something isn't working correctly)
3) Dont make all evaluation fuctions require a current task context to execute -- that should be optional.
