But it would be nice to temporary show next to the cursor what type of snap
happened! ;)

Even on a medium size monitor I may be drawing 30 cm away from the status bar. 
Looking back and forth almost inevitably means moving the mouse slightly 
which in congested areas, where this would be most useful, is likely to 
change the snap target.

The status bar should only show which snap mode is active, whereas near the cursor it would show what has snapped. The status bar is then kinda static, whereas what has snapped might change frequently. Have you seen the post-snapping indicator yet? It draws a small cross where snapping occured. We could change that cross into any other symbol, depending on what has snapped.
