Yes, that's certainly interesting. Usually the cell ID we are camped to comes
with the Status signal.
However, we could add something like
GetCellStatus() -> a{sv} that returns the one and only cell we are booked in
with the signal strength (this works on all systems) + multiple further cells
with signal strength (on systems where we have access to these information,
e.g. TI Calypso Engineering mode).
