Comment (by dustin):

 I agree with tomprince.  I think this is a good idea (it's been discussed
 before, but I didn't know it was implemented!), but will be better to
 merge in the 0.9.x series (when at least the status-reporting API is well-
 defined) or even 1.0.x (when process APIs get nailed down).

 Throughout 0.8.x, we've adopted a lot of interesting tools that turn out
 to create edge cases, bugs, or contradictions after they're merged.  I'd
 rather *avoid* doing so again in the 0.8.x series, so that we can focus on
 defining things properly in 0.9.x.  Once those definitions are well
 understood, we will have the tools to properly analyze bigger changes like
 this, and identify any violated assumptions or unintended consequences.

 We should think of this as a design goal as we build those releases,
 though.
