Seems to fall into the "if it isn't documented it doesn't happen" category
of things that we simply choose not to clutter the documentation with.
Called functions don't inherit stuff from the caller. It is like
documenting a variable in the calling function isn't visible to the called
function. Admittedly at least with variables you can pass them via
arguments. The special trigger state is indeed available in the trigger
returning function when it is the function directly invoked by the trigger.
