Description

This is a wished feature, not a bug.

It would be nice to have status codes separated by level. For example status::Success::OK or status::Client::NotFound.

The "everything in one place" is fine for normal codes, but as you read some code and you stumble upon something like "Not exteded" or "Upgrade required" or "Precondition failed" it's really hard to remember if they are 4xx (Client errors) or 5xx (Server errors).

I tried to take a look at the code to prepare a PR, but they are macro-generated and that's beyond me, for now...

Research direction

Start by locating the macro-generated HTTP status-code definitions and reading how the existing single-level names are organized. Determine how success, client-error, and server-error groupings should map to the proposed names, then add coverage showing representative codes such as OK and NotFound resolve through the new organization.
