//!
// A AIStateMachine is a base class that allows derived classes to
// go through asynchronous states, while the code still appears to
// be more or less sequential.
//
// These state machine objects can be reused to build more complex
// objects.
//
// It is important to note that each state has a duality: the object
// can have a state that will cause a corresponding function to be
// called; and often that function will end with changing the state
// again, to signal that it was handled. It is easy to confuse the
// function of a state with the state at the end of the function.
// For example, the state "initialize" could cause the member
// function 'init()' to be called, and at the end one would be
// inclined to set the state to "initialized". However, this is the
// wrong approach: the correct use of state names does reflect the
// functions that will be called, never the function that just was
// called.
//
// Each (derived) class goes through a series of states as follows:
//
//   Creation
//       |
//       v
//     (idle) <----.   		Idle until run() is called.
//       |         |
//   Initialize    |		Calls initialize_impl().
//       |         |
//       | (idle)  |		Idle until cont() or set_state() is called.
//       |  |  ^   |
//       v  v  |   |
//   .-------. |   |
//   |  Run  |_,   |		Call multiplex_impl() until idle(), abort() or finish() is called.
//   '-------'     |
//    |    |       |
//    v    |       |
//  Abort  |       |		Calls abort_impl().
//    |    |       |
//    v    v       |
//    Finish       |		Calls finish_impl() (which may call kill()) or
//    |    |       |		the callback function passed to run(), if any,
//    |    v       |
//    | Callback   |        which may call kill() and/or run().
//    |  |   |     |
//    |  |   `-----'
//    v  v
//  Killed					Delete the statemachine (all statemachines must be allocated with new).
//
// Each state causes corresponding code to be called.
// Finish cleans up whatever is done by Initialize.
// Abort should clean up additional things done by Run.
//
// The Run state is entered by calling run().
//
// While the base class is in the Run state, it is the derived class
// that goes through different states. The state variable of the derived
// class is only valid while the base class is in the state Run.
//
// A derived class can exit the Run state by calling one of two methods:
// abort() in case of failure, or finish() in case of success.
// Respectively these set the state to Abort and Finish.
//
// finish_impl may call kill() for a (default) destruction upon finish.
// Even in that case the callback (passed to run()) may call run() again,
// which overrides the request for a default kill. Or, if finish_impl
// doesn't call kill() the callback may call kill() to request the
// destruction of the state machine object.
//
// State machines are run from the "idle" part of the viewer main loop.
// Often a state machine has nothing to do however. In that case it can
// call the method idle(). This will stop the state machine until
// external code changes it's state (by calling set_state()), or calls
// cont() to continue with the last state.
//
// The methods of the derived class call set_state() to change their
// own state within the bs_run state, or by calling either abort()
// or finish().
//
// Restarting a finished state machine can also be done by calling run(),
// which will cause a re-initialize.
//
// Derived classes should implement the following constants:
//
//   static state_type const min_state = first_state;
//   static state_type const max_state = last_state + 1;
//
// Where first_state should be equal to BaseClass::max_state.
// These should represent the minimum and (one past) the maximum
// values of mRunState.
//
//   virtual void initialize_impl(void)
//
// Initializes the derived class.
//
//   virtual void multiplex_impl(void);
//
// This method should handle mRunState in a switch.
// For example:
//
//   switch(mRunState)
//   {
//     case foo:
//       handle_foo();
//       break;
//     case wait_state:
//       if (still_waiting())
//       {
//         idle();
//         break;
//       }
//       set_state(working);
//       /*fall-through*/
//     case working:
//       do_work();
//       if (failure())
//         abort();
//       break;
//     case etc:
//       etc();
//       finish();
//       break;
//   }
//
// virtual void abort_impl(void);
//
//   A call to this method should bring the object to a state
//   where finish_impl() can be called.
//
// virtual void finish_impl(void);
//
//   Should cleanup whatever init_impl() did, or any of the
//   states of the object where multiplex_impl() calls finish().
//   Call kill() from here to make that the default behavior
//   (state machine is deleted unless the callback calls run()).
//
// virtual char const* state_str_impl(state_type run_state);
//
//   Should return a stringified value of run_state.
