updateState

Allows to update the state of this input method and to perform side effects on the current editor.

This function is thread-safe and may be called from any number of threads concurrently. If there is already a state update in progress, additional calls will suspend until that update is completed.

Usage example:

inputMethod.updateState {
    // Direct effects on state
    emitText(…)
    emitDescriptor(…)
    emitBackspace()
    …
    // At any point the current state may be accessed and re-assigned via state.
    state = state.copy(…)
}

After the update state scope returns, activeState will be updated with the value last assigned, if any.
