According to the current documentation on labs
   lab ''

should show the lab status.

However, experimentation (in jqt) suggests that it does one of two things:

(*) When not in a lab, it displays the text 'first open a lab'

(*) When in a lab, it brings up the lab selection dialog, which allows
us to select a different lab (or the current lab).

This seems like incorrect behavior. If the purpose is to select a lab,
there's no reason to not provide that functionality when already in a
lab.

If the purpose is to show the user where they are in the current lab,
it does not achieve that.

I think that, hypothetically speaking, it would be great if we could
use the lab verb to navigate within labs or even to navigate across
labs. But that first requires that I be able to understand what I am
doing.

Thanks,
