Hi

We would like to have machine-readable status, but we would not want to
just add it on top in a similar way as the current CLI UI, but have it
integrated with changes in BIRD internals. I.e., have reflective BIRD
object model inside and then just use it for automatic machine-readable
API.

I should make this priority after releasing 2.0.8.
