I disagree, nothing in net/http client code relies on status
code messages.  Loading status messages would needlessly
increase the memory footprint of people who only want an
HTTP client.

Having a code number -> message mapping is useful to servers
(but unfortunately having `require "net/http"` in
 net/http/status would needlessly bloat servers, too).
