current state. 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

Also see |mode()|.
When {what} is given only characters in this string will be
