Is there any reason this can't be made human readable? I mean, printing
out the bitfield is fine for debugging if you're someone who knows the
code, but for people just trying to use the software, 

	... options c status 0018 ...

has never really been that helpful. Always wondered what it meant. It
would be terrific to know whether it meant nodes were reachable?
Bi-directional connection? Actually handling traffic right now?

That is the most frequent use case in my experience, right after "am I
connected to the mesh yet?"
