    0 is the default state, and indicates that the progress bar should be hidden. Use this state when the command is complete, to clear out any progress state.
    1: set progress value to <progress>, in the "default" state.
    2: set progress value to <progress>, in the "Error" state
    3: set the taskbar to the "Indeterminate" state. This is useful for commands that don't have a progress value, but are still running. This state ignores the <progress> value.
    4: set progress value to <progress>, in the "Warning" state
    <progress> is a number between 0 and 100, inclusive

this is just me playing around with [ClassExplorer.Internal._Format] class to make things pretty.
obviously there is a hard requirement for the module ClassExplorer

also note the Internal in the name, this could probably break at any time.

experimental thing.. :)
