// The following example program demonstrates the use of asynchronous state
// machines. First, it creates two objects of the same simple state machine
// mimicking a table tennis player. It then sends an event (the ball) to the
// first state machine. Upon reception, the first machine sends a similar
// event to the second state machine, which then sends the event back to the
// first machine. The two machines continue to bounce the event back and forth
// until one machine "has enough" and aborts the game. The two players don't
// "know" each other, they can only pass the ball back and forth because the
// event representing the ball also carries two boost::function objects.
// Both reference the fifo_scheduler<>::queue_event() function, binding the
// scheduler and the handle of the opponent. One can be used to return the
// ball to the opponent and the other can be used to abort the game.
// Depending on whether the program is compiled single-threaded or
// multi-threaded and the USE_TWO_THREADS define above, the two
// machines either run in the same thread without/with mutex locking or in two
// different threads with mutex locking.
