Any way to force a task to the front of the queue? #49

I have to limit requests by user. Let's say a user has a queue with 10 background tasks lined up. Is there a way to push a single manual request to the top of the queue so it get's executed next before the rest of the background jobs?

Right now it is first come first serve. I would be open to a new method that adds a task to the front of the list instead of the back if it gets rate limited.
