/**
* The statement status has two purposes:
*
* <p> 1. Storing the importance of an entity (any of ``OBLIGATORY``,
* ``RECOMMENDED``, ``SUGGESTED``, or ``FIX``). ``OBLIGATORY``,
* ``RECOMMENDED``, and ``SUGGESTED`` specify whether this Entity
* must, should or may be present, and whether the server will throw
* an error, a warning or nothing, respectively, if it is missing. The
* importance is also used to specify the level of inheritance whereby
* ``FIX`` means that the entity is never inherited. See <a
* href="../../../../../specification/RecordType.html">the
* documentation of RecordTypes</a> for more information.
*
* <p> 2. Marking an entity as a ``REPLACEMENT`` which is needed for
* flat representation of deeply nested properties. This constant is
* only used for internal processes and has no meaning in the
* API. That is also the reason why this enum is not called
* "Importance". Apart from that, in most cases its meaning is
* identical to the importance of an entity.
