    This algorithm sorts the input exposures by their exposure id, and
    then assigns each pair of exposures (exp_j, exp_{j+1}) to pair k,
    such that 2*k = j, where j is the python index of one of the
    exposures (starting from zero).  By checking for the IndexError
    while appending, we can ensure that there will only ever be fully
    populated pairs.

        The task whose config is to be validated

        isr steps that must be set to True. Raises if False or missing
