> ExtensionStatus displays the extension status purely as a number which is set based on a field of the ast_state_cb_info struct called 'exten_state'.
> exten_state isn't really a state value. The enumerator has a few values that operate as states, those being:
> AST_EXTENSION_REMOVED
> AST_EXTENSION_DEACTIVATED
> AST_EXTENSION_NOT_INUSE
> AST_EXTENSION_INUSE
> But after that things start to get a little weird.  The extension state value that I noticed in particular was 16 which would be:
> AST_EXTENSION_INUSE | AST_EXTENSION_ONHOLD
> and allegedly it would be possible to hit other combinations such as NOT_INUSE | UNAVAILABLE
> Obviously changing the value of the Status field in the event is off the table, but a new value should be added to present this information
> in a human readable way, possibly simply by providing a function that turns an extension state into a comma separated list of the items in
> the enumerator.
> Another part of this task could be adding documentation.
