Hello,

I’m looking to contribute to Ansible and started looking at this issue: [Github #19520](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/19520).

Is using an int as a task name is expected to work? I’m guessing not since it isn’t permitted for role names (this is checked for [here](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/playbook/role/include.py#L53-L54)) but I wanted to verify before working on any changes.

Thanks,  
Rob
