Comment (by atagar):

 Hi Alex. Is there a ticket for implementing PT_STATUS? If so then this
 spec patch should either await it (if PT_STATUS's merge is imminent), or
 we should remove PT_STATUS until it's ready.

 Maybe I'm missing something but it sounds like a mistake to spec or
 reserve the keyword for something that doesn't exist. Doing so risks that
 five years from now someone will ask "What is this PT_STATUS thing?" and
 the answer will be "something we started to spec out but never got around
 to".

 Better to merge and spec PT_STATUS after it's done. :)
