Some functions in Signaletic can fail for various reasons—user error such as an out-of-bounds index, resource limitations such as a lack of memory, etc. We should implement a means for informing callers when an error occurred.

There are several different strategies used in C, but my preference is for an error or result status object being specified by the caller as the last argument in to a function that can fail.

The most significant place where the Status API needs to be implemented now in Signaletic is the memory allocator.
