Multiple Statuses

[Streemo]

Just a suggestion,

Here's one thing I would change:

this.socket.on("close", () => {
  /* got rid of auto-disconnect status and emit here */
  this.messageQueue.empty();
  if (this.autoReconnect) {
    this.status = "reconnecting"; /*this status is new.*/
    this.emit('reconnecting'); /*this event is new.*/
    setTimeout(
      this.socket.open.bind(this.socket),
      this.reconnectInterval
    );
  } else { /*this else block is new*/
    this.status = "disconnected";
    this.emit("disconnected");
  }
});

Instead of this.status being binary, it should be ternary, including "connected", "disconnected", and "reconnecting". I am unsure if this goes against the DDP spec, but It would be nice to have.
