Status propogation and assignment

We often need to handle values differently based on input status that occur somewhere else in application. This requires us to check the status as it comes in and pass a status along with the actual value. This would be much more convenient if the status was propogated to any function that used that value.  It would also be great if we could set the status. This could allow us to clear an error or set a low/high warning based on calculated thresholds. The image shows how a status is lost after passing the value to another function.
