Status command?

This isn't a skill, feat, spell, or trade, so I wasn't sure of the proper forum, but it is a suggestion.

As a takeoff of the 'pose' command, I think it'd be spiffy to have a 'status' command that just adds on to the echo when you enter or leave rooms, and auto-poses you once in them, until it's discontinued.

For example, I find someone's body and have to carry them all the way to a city to meet a priest. When I pick them up, I set my 'status' as:

carrying a humanoid body

When I cross paths with someone on the road,

A blue-skinned female moon elf walks in from the south carrying a humanoid body.

Or, if they enter when I'm already there,

A blue-skinned female moon elf is here carrying a humanoid body.

This would be useful for any sort of continued status that it would be appropriate to display, and make it so that folk crossing paths are more likely to stop and RP if there's something abnormal or amiss with one of them. Comments, questions, and constructive flames welcome :)
