I'm sold on this. Better documentation for checkout wouldn't hurt regardless,
and I'm still planning on that when I get a chance; but better *behavior* is a
clear win either way. Adding half a page of text to the docs explaining what
each status char means is a hugely-inferior "solution" to simply not having
an aberrant status-ish output in the first place.
