Looks like there isn't one. We had a fleeting use case for accessing
substatus information during a successful message exchange, but never
actually did it, so the method got overlooked.

Only when it's an error, in which case it gets tossed out as an exception.
Can you please file a bug so I remember to add a method for this?
