 *    A user defined string which gives a more conscise explanation
 *    of the meaning of the state and can also be displayed in the GUI
 *    or anywhere else automatically,
 *    e.g. "System setup and trigger switched on"

 *    <li> if something is wrong with the supplied arguments (type, number)
 *    <li> when the index is out of range [10,255]
 *    <li> the given state name is empty
 *    <li> the given state name contains a colon or an equal sign

 * @returns {Boolean}
 *    A boolean whether the state was newly added (true) or an existing
