I have some up with several candidate contexts, all of which are appalling.

1) "X traverses the data set to generate overall statistics. As each 
data item is processed, its _statused_ flag is set to ON to indicate 
that it has been USED in the STATs."

2) "The utilization of the paradigm has allowed us to grow the business 
by 200%, and it is now statused GOLD".

3) "printstatus(t): print the name and status of each object of type t, 
one object per line. Objects are statused in order of increasing size."

4) "Executive Washroom: Statused persons only."
