auto-fill would be buffer local and the function property 'state' in
being changed.  Additionally, it is only used so not to use the longer
(get 'auto-fill-cycle 'state) for the when condition.  Why would you want
'n' to persist beyond an invocation of auto-fill-cycle?  I don't see a reason
to do that.  Can do '(let (n)' and close it after setting the state to 1 when
the function gets cycled to  state 3.

With the use of 'let' would I then use the following?
(setq n (get 'gungadin-auto-fill-cycle 'state))
