_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This provides a way to get the names (or identifiers) for the
     currently registered task callbacks that are invoked at the
     conclusion of each top-level task. These identifiers can be used
     to remove a callback.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     getTaskCallbackNames()

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A character vector giving the name for each of the registered
     callbacks which are invoked when a top-level task is completed
     successfully. Each name is the one used when registering the
     callbacks and returned as the in the call to 'addTaskCallback'.

_N_o_t_e:

     One can use 'taskCallbackManager' to manage user-level task
     callbacks, i.e., S-language functions, entirely within the S
     language and access the names more directly.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'addTaskCallback', 'removeTaskCallback', 'taskCallbackManager'\
