I thought about that when first adding the status.h auto-generated file,
but at the time I decided that mudlib writers could not avoid knowing
about those two objects and would not need a reminder.

There would be no great harm in adding the names of these two objects
to the status()-returned array -- except of course that the overhead
for each status() call would increase -- but I see no pressing need
for it, either.
