+    @brief
+        InputStates allow you to customise the input event targets at runtime.
+
+        The general idea is a stack: Every activated InputState will be pushed on
+        that stack and only the top one gets the input events. This is done for
+        every device (keyboard, mouse, all joy sticks) separately to allow
+        for intance keyboard input capturing for the console while you can still
+        steer a ship with the mouse.
+        There are two exceptions to this behaviour though:
+        - If an InputState is created with the 'Transparent' parameter on, the
+          state will not prevent input from getting to the state below it on the stack.
+          This can be useful for instance if you need to deploy input to multiple
+          handlers: Simply create two InputStates and make the high priority one transparent.
+        - If an InputState is created with the 'AlwaysGetsInput' parameter on, then
+          the state will always receive input as long as it is activated.
+        - Note: If you mark an InputState with both parameters on, then it will
+          not influence ony other InputState at all.
+
+        Priorities
+        **********
+        Every InputState has a priority when on the stack, but mostly this
+        priority is dynamic (InputStatePriority::Dynamic) which means that a state
+        pushed onto the stack will simply have a higher priority than the top one.
+        This behaviour really only applies to normal states that don't have
+        a high priority (InputStatePriority::HighPriority). These 'special' ones
+        are used for features like the KeyDetector or the console. Use with care!
