title: Why is the JQuery status callback parameter a string rather than a number?
body: <p>Is there any reason why the status callback parameter called <code>textStatus</code> of the <code>complete</code> and <code>error</code> functions, which themselve are defined on the <code>jqXHR</code> object, is a string? I would expect the status to be a number (besides the name, which already suggests the parameter to be a string).</p>
