            You would typically serialize arbitrary stuff with `dplug.core.binrange`.
            This is called quite frequently.

            What should go here:
                * your own chunk format with hopefully your plugin major version.
                * user-defined structures, like opened .wav, strings, wavetables, file paths...
                  You can finally make plugins with arbitrary data in presets!
                * Typically stuff used to render sound identically.
                * Do not put host-exposed plug-in Parameters, they are saved by other means.
                * Do not put stuff that depends on I/O settings, such as:
                   - current sample rate
                   - current I/O count and layout
                   - maxFrames and buffering
                  What you put in an extra state chunk must be parameter-like,
                  just not those a DAW allows.

            Contrarily, this is a disappointing solution for:
                * Storing UI size, dark mode, and all kind of editor preferences.
                  Indeed, when `loadState` is called, the UI might not exist at all.

            Note: Using state chunks comes with a BIG challenge of making your own synchronization 
                  with the UI. You can expect any thread to call `saveState` and `loadState`. 
                  A proper design would probably have you represent state in the editor and the 
                  audio client separately, with a clean interchange.

            Important: This is called at the instantiating of a plug-in to get the "default state",
                       so that `makeDefaultPreset()` can work. At this point, the preset bank isn't 
                       yet constructed, so you cannot rely on it.

            Warning: Just append new content to the `Vec!ubyte`, do not modify its existing content
                     if any exist.
