Mostly useful in callbacks that want to do work that may not always be safe. Roughly this works like: - callback uses state() to check if work is safe to do. - If yes, then do it right away. - Otherwise add to work queue and add SafeState autocommand. - - When SafeState is triggered, check with state() if the work - can be done now, and if yes remove it from the queue and - execute. + Yes: then do it right away. + No: add to work queue and add a |SafeState| autocommand. + - When SafeState is triggered and executes your autocommand, + check with `state()` if the work can be done now, and if yes + remove it from the queue and execute. + Remove the autocommand if the queue is now empty.
