Trivial, intuitively obvious to the most casual observer.

Murphy, over in the Statusing Department, has a box of
statused tags. There are red ones and blue ones. Every
piece gets a tag, and when it has one, it is recorded
as "statused" in the peripheral finishing parts operations
records statused nounclump log.

Got that?

Well, my _guess_ would be something that has had a status applied to it.
