why don't we let people choose the status code?

This is the only way that i found to set the status code for a request.

import pico

def teapot():
    try:
        brew_coffee()
        return "Smells nice!"
    except TeapotError:
        raise PicoError("I'm a teapot", status=418)

Makes sense, thanks @tatterdemalion!
