Thats another option. As I mention on the bug, my initial idea of using
a existing state probably was not so good, as I didn't find a "perfect
fit". Just a question about that solution used at Unity2D. Does that
mean that you create a new accessible name that is created by
concatenate the original name and the "glow" description? How that works
with the internationalization (as "just concatenate" don't work on every
language)?

Thanks for the idea
