/** @struct State

@brief A struct which stores an index, a comment and a name of a State

To have proper descriptions of states in the network, this struct provides
a simple storage for the properties of a state.

Assume you want to write a descriptive string for a state machine
with two states, it could look like this:

"1:Disconnected=Connection not established\n2:Connected=Connection established."

Such a string can then be converted with SplitStates into a vector
of State objects.
