%%%-----------------------------------------------------------------
%%%   
%%% This state machine is somewhat more pure than state_lib.  It is
%%% still based on State dispatching (one function per state), but
%%% allows a function handle_event to take care of events in all states.
%%% It's not that pure anymore :(  We also allow synchronized event sending.
%%%
%%% If the Parent process terminates the Module:terminate/2
%%% function is called.
%%%
%%% The user module should export:
%%%
%%%   init(Args)
%%%     ==> {ok, StateName, StateData}
%%%         {ok, StateName, StateData, Timeout}
%%%         ignore
%%%         {stop, Reason}
%%%
%%%   StateName(Msg, StateData)
%%%
%%%    ==> {next_state, NewStateName, NewStateData}
%%%        {next_state, NewStateName, NewStateData, Timeout}
%%%        {stop, Reason, NewStateData}
%%%              Reason = normal | shutdown | Term terminate(State) is called
%%%
%%%   StateName(Msg, From, StateData)
%%%
%%%    ==> {next_state, NewStateName, NewStateData}
%%%        {next_state, NewStateName, NewStateData, Timeout}
%%%        {reply, Reply, NewStateName, NewStateData}
%%%        {reply, Reply, NewStateName, NewStateData, Timeout}
%%%        {stop, Reason, NewStateData}
%%%              Reason = normal | shutdown | Term terminate(State) is called
%%%
%%%   handle_event(Msg, StateName, StateData)
%%%
%%%    ==> {next_state, NewStateName, NewStateData}
%%%        {next_state, NewStateName, NewStateData, Timeout}
%%%        {stop, Reason, Reply, NewStateData}
%%%        {stop, Reason, NewStateData}
%%%              Reason = normal | shutdown | Term terminate(State) is called
%%%
%%%   handle_sync_event(Msg, From, StateName, StateData)
%%%
%%%    ==> {next_state, NewStateName, NewStateData}
%%%        {next_state, NewStateName, NewStateData, Timeout}
%%%        {reply, Reply, NewStateName, NewStateData}
%%%        {reply, Reply, NewStateName, NewStateData, Timeout}
%%%        {stop, Reason, Reply, NewStateData}
%%%        {stop, Reason, NewStateData}
%%%              Reason = normal | shutdown | Term terminate(State) is called
%%%
%%%   handle_info(Info, StateName) (e.g. {'EXIT', P, R}, {nodedown, N}, ...
%%%
%%%    ==> {next_state, NewStateName, NewStateData}
%%%        {next_state, NewStateName, NewStateData, Timeout}
%%%        {stop, Reason, NewStateData}
%%%              Reason = normal | shutdown | Term terminate(State) is called
%%%
%%%   terminate(Reason, StateName, StateData) Let the user module clean up
%%%        always called when server terminates
%%%
%%%    ==> the return value is ignored
%%%
%%%
%%% The work flow (of the fsm) can be described as follows:
%%%
%%%   User module                           fsm
%%%   -----------                          -------
