Contains Finite state machine interfaces.

Interface Summary
Interface	Description
Event<S extends Enum<S>>	An `Event` captures the information that may trigger a `Transition` in a `FiniteStateMachine` from one state to another.
ExecutionContext	Provides contextual information about a `FiniteStateMachine`, typically to aid in runtime decision making for actions (eg: `TransitionAction`s, `StateEntryAction`s and/or `StateExitAction`s) and `Event`s.
FiniteStateMachine<S extends Enum<S>>	A `FiniteStateMachine` implements a general purpose finite-state-machine.
FiniteStateMachineListener<S extends Enum<S>>	A FiniteStateMachineListener listens for state related events on a `FiniteStateMachine`.
Instruction	A marker interface for `Instruction`s to `FiniteStateMachine`s.
LifecycleAwareEvent<S extends Enum<S>>	A `LifecycleAwareEvent` is a specialized `Event` that receives callbacks during the processing of the `Event` by a `FiniteStateMachine`.
Model<S extends Enum<S>>	A `Model` represents the definition of a `FiniteStateMachine`, the set of known states, `Transition`s between said states and `StateEntryAction`s / `StateExitAction`s to be performed when said states are changed.
NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine.TaskDependencies	Dependencies for Task.
StateEntryAction<S extends Enum<S>>	A `StateEntryAction` encapsulates the actions to be performed by a `FiniteStateMachine` when a particular state is entered.
StateExitAction<S extends Enum<S>>	A `StateExitAction` encapsulates the actions to be performed by a `FiniteStateMachine` when leaving a known state.
TransitionAction<S extends Enum<S>>	A `TransitionAction` encapsulates the actions to be performed as part of the `Transition` from one state to another.

Class Summary
Class	Description
AnnotationDrivenModel<S extends Enum<S>>	An `AnnotationDrivenModel` is a `Model` created through extracting information defined by `Transitions` annotation.
Instruction.ProcessEvent<S extends Enum<S>>	An `Instruction` for a `FiniteStateMachine` to process an `Event`.
Instruction.TransitionTo<S extends Enum<S>>	An `Instruction` for a `FiniteStateMachine` to `Instruction.TransitionTo` another state.
NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine<S extends Enum<S>>	An `NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine` is a specialized `FiniteStateMachine` implementation that performs transitions asynchronously to the threads that request state changes.
NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine.CoalescedEvent<S extends Enum<S>>	A `NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine.CoalescedEvent` is a `LifecycleAwareEvent` that coalesces other (wrapped) `Event`s with the same discriminator so that only one `Event` actually executes.
NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine.CoalescedEvent.Discriminator	A `NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine.CoalescedEvent.Discriminator` is an object that is used to uniquely differentiate events to be coalesced, scoped by a `NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine`.
NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine.DefaultTaskDependencies	Implementation of Dependencies for Task
NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine.DelayedTransitionTo<S extends Enum<S>>	A `NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine.DelayedTransitionTo` is a specialized `Instruction` for `NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine`s that enables a `StateEntryAction` to request a delayed transition to another state, unlike a `Instruction.TransitionTo` `Instruction` which occurs immediately.
NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine.ProcessEventLater<S extends Enum<S>>	A specialized `Instruction` for `NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine`s that enables a `StateEntryAction` to request an `Event` to be processed at some point in the future.
NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine.SubsequentEvent<S extends Enum<S>>	A `NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine.SubsequentEvent` is an `Event` that ensures that another (wrapped) `Event` to occur if an only if the `FiniteStateMachine` is at a certain transition count.
ReflectionHelper	A collection of utilities to assist in using Reflection to create objects.
Render	Provides Render capabilities for `FiniteStateMachine`s, in particular their `Model`s.
SimpleModel<S extends Enum<S>>	A `SimpleModel` is a basic implementation of a `Model` for a `FiniteStateMachine`.
Transition<S extends Enum<S>>	A `Transition` represents a transition in a `FiniteStateMachine` from one or more possible states to a desired state.

NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine.CoalescedEvent.Process
The NonBlockingFiniteStateMachine.CoalescedEvent to process.

Exception Summary
Exception	Description
RollbackTransitionException	A `RollbackTransitionException` may be thrown during an `TransitionAction` for a `Transition` if the said `Transition` should be aborted.
