The documentation of erlang:process_info/2 reads:
http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#process_info-2
...
{status, Status}
Status is the status of the process. Status is waiting (waiting
for a message), running, runnable (ready to run, but another
process is running), or suspended
but the actual implementation (erts/emulator/beam/erl_process.c)
has two more statuses:
exiting and garbage_collecting
Is there a good reason why these are not be documented?
Should they be?
