I don't think the comment made sense, this is probably what it meant to be. It's only checking status type but not the status message, so it can match the "wrong" status if you have substatuses of different messages. I am not sure if that's a feature or bug though. Seems like a bug to me because it prevents you from setting certain messages if you already have similar transient status. Oh, and why does this matching only work on transient statuses anyway.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the
HOWTOs in the "Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
