/**
 * Saved statuses don't really interact much with the rest of Purple.  It
 * could really be a plugin.  It's just a list of away states.  When
 * a user chooses one of the saved states, their Purple accounts are set
 * to the settings of that state.
 *
 * In the savedstatus API, there is the concept of a 'transient'
 * saved status.  A transient saved status is one that is not
 * permanent.  Purple will removed it automatically if it isn't
 * used for a period of time.  Transient saved statuses don't
 * have titles and they don't show up in the list of saved
 * statuses.  In fact, if a saved status does not have a title
 * then it is transient.  If it does have a title, then it is not
 * transient.
 *
 * What good is a transient status, you ask?  They can be used to
 * keep track of the user's 5 most recently used statuses, for
 * example.  Basically if they just set a message on the fly,
 * we'll cache it for them in case they want to use it again.  If
 * they don't use it again, we'll just delete it.
 */

/*
 * TODO: Hmm.  We should probably just be saving PurplePresences.  That's
 *       something we should look into once the status box gets fleshed
 *       out more.
