Comment (by dmsnell):

 Thanks @westonruter — to be clear I wasn’t proposing we change the markup;
 I was merely trying to think of a use-case for this filter that was more
 than adding plaintext //after// the list of post states.

 My main confusion is that `display_post_states` sounds much more like the
 filter I would seek out to replace the generated HTML in `wp-admin` than
 `post_states_string`. It still seems like there could be some more
 specific vocabulary escaping us on that one.

 But the improved docblock comments are gold. I can see in your changes
 that I was wrong on the data type for `$post_states`, which only confirms
 to me the need for them.
