The "End" item is not a status cell type, it indicates that the list
of status cells *ends* here.  Its the end-of-list item.

Again, the "End" item is no real item, it just indicates to you that
the list of status cell indicators ends here.  If you want a longer list,
you set the "End" item to something else, and yet another "End" is
added to the end of the list.  If you want to shorten the list, you set
the last real status cell indicator to "End" and get a one item
shorter list.
