/// [`MlsGroupState`] determines the state of an [`MlsGroup`]. The different

///
/// * [`MlsGroupState::Operational`]: This is the main state of the group, which
///   allows access to all of its functionality, (except merging pending commits,
///   see the [`MlsGroupState::PendingCommit`] for more information) and it's the
///   state the group starts in (except when created via
///   [`MlsGroup::external_commit_builder()`], see the functions documentation for
///   more information). From this `Operational`, the group state can either
///   transition to [`MlsGroupState::Inactive`], when it processes a commit that
///   removes this client from the group, or to [`MlsGroupState::PendingCommit`],
///   when this client creates a commit.
///
/// * [`MlsGroupState::Inactive`]: A group can enter this state from any other
///   state when it processes a commit that removes this client from the group.
///   This is a terminal state that the group can not exit from. If the clients
///   wants to re-join the group, it can either be added by a group member or it
///   can join via external commit.
///
/// * [`MlsGroupState::PendingCommit`]: This state is split into two possible
///   sub-states, one for each Commit type:
///   [`PendingCommitState::Member`] and [`PendingCommitState::External`]:
///
///   * If the client creates a commit for this group, the `PendingCommit` state
///     is entered with [`PendingCommitState::Member`] and with the [`StagedCommit`] as
///     additional state variable. In this state, it can perform the same
///     operations as in the [`MlsGroupState::Operational`], except that it cannot
///     create proposals or commits. However, it can merge or clear the stored
///     [`StagedCommit`], where both actions result in a transition to the
///     [`MlsGroupState::Operational`]. Additionally, if a commit from another
///     group member is processed, the own pending commit is also cleared and
///     either the `Inactive` state is entered (if this client was removed from
///     the group as part of the processed commit), or the `Operational` state is
///     entered.
///
///   * A group can enter the [`PendingCommitState::External`] sub-state only as
///     the initial state when the group is created via
///     [`MlsGroup::external_commit_builder()`]. In contrast to the
///     [`PendingCommitState::Member`] `PendingCommit` state, the only possible
///     functionality that can be used is the [`MlsGroup::merge_pending_commit()`]
///     function, which merges the pending external commit and transitions the
///     state to [`MlsGroupState::PendingCommit`]. For more information on the
///     external commit process, see [`MlsGroup::external_commit_builder()`] or
