This is the queryallactions operation proposed in #1200.

You may be pleased to know this is probably the final operation I'm going to propose for Thing Description 1.1. There are other potential candidates (like invokeanyaction, cancelallactions, queryactioninstance, cancelactioninstance and readpastevents) but I think we can live without them.

I think queryallactions is particularly important because without it there may be no way for a Consumer to enumerate ongoing actions, which may mean that only the Consumer which invokes an action can ever query its status and if that Consumer should crash, it may lose the reference to a dynamic resource needed to do so. This operation is probably also needed for the Core Profile, see w3c/wot-profile#99.

There's still some discussion about the payload format for meta operations, but this is being discussed in #1231.
