Is there a way to find all of the icon_states contained within an icon?

Sadly, not yet. However, Dantom are planning to revamp the icon structure a bit in the nearish future to provide better access to the icon, its states, etc.

Well, for example, when adding a 'forest' turf to a map from within the game, I would like to be able to choose which icon state to use, without having to hard code a list of possible icon states for each atom.

Something along the lines of:

turf
  verb
     change_state()
       set src in view()
       var/list/states
       for(var/icon_state/I in src.icon)  //  <<---  This obviously doesn't work
          states += I
       src.icon_state = input("which state") in states

In the map editor when you click one of your turfs there's this button generate icon states...??? ANyone notice that or it doesn't work...
