Yes, I like this very much.
We could have both a TRIGGER and a BLOCKER property. The first one
would trigger actions on tasks. The second one wouldn't let a change
appear on the task unless some tasks are in a specific state.
I tried to figure out how we could emulate the job of the BLOCKER
property with only TRIGGER and an option like `org-check-triggers',
saying that the action the TRIGGER is supposed to perform won't be
allowed if it's not performed *by the TRIGGER* itself -- therefore
enabling us to use "rigid" TRIGGERS and some kind of dependencies
checks.
But I don't think it's really feasible -- not even a good idea.

Yes, sounds like a good idea.

I do agree the syntax I proposed was somewhat bloat. Consider it
brain-dust after excitment!
