That is an obvious problem of my strategy. I was also wondering whether
there might be a limit to the length (i.e. number of levels) in my syntax,
but in terms of -help limits-, both the -local- and the r-return are
probably considered a -macro- and the line
" # of characters in a macro 8,681 165,200
1,081,511"
applies to both...

Fair point.
Brevity is not all, however. Saving to a local has the merit that it
remains available for later use, whereas r() results are ephemeral.

" If you want to do it that way, fine but
levelsof state, local(allstates)
foreach s of local allstates {
...
}
is one statement fewer."
Shortest version yet:
*************
levelsof state
foreach s in `r(levels)'{
...
}
