If only the Internet came with an Undo button...

Since in the previous example Rake complains unless main_a and main_b 
are defined, it sort of defeats the whole purpose.  This works:

  task :setup_a do
    puts "setup_a"
  end

  task :setup_b do
    puts "setup_b"
  end

  task :setup => [:setup_a, :setup_b] do
    puts "setup phase complete. defining new tasks..."

    task :main_a do
      puts "main_a"
    end

    task :main_b do
      puts "main_b"
    end

    puts "restarting..."
    throw :restart
  end

  task :main => [:main_a, :main_b] do
    puts "main phase complete."
  end

  task :default => [:setup, :main] do
    puts "all done."
  end

However this defeats Drake, which I suppose is another matter.
