JSplitPane has "one-touch expandable" mode in which there are two
buttons allowing user to control the state of the divider. There are
three states: "middle", "closed", "opened". However, these states are
invisible to developer and he can't control them. There are explicit
APIs to control divider position(weight, location) but they are not
equivalent to setting the state using one-touch buttons - it is always
possible to make JSplitPane opened or closed at full.

Therefore, I request the state property be added to a JSplitPane which
allows to read and write the state of the divider.
