#1145 <- issue (which this PR fixes 50% of)
AFAIK the status of an action (aka the topic) is always defined in the same way:
/{ACTION_NAME}/_action/statuswith message typeaction_msgs/msg/GoalStatusArray. So instead of having to create the topic yourself, you can just get it directly from the action.This PR is experimental because I doubt that this is acceptable yet, but it works and gives a better idea than my vague description of the "missing functionality"
