/**
 * This interface must be implemented by any class that is used as 
 * a state in a FSM.  The FSM only needs the identity of this 
 * object, so all that is really needs is the default equals implementation.
 * The toString() method should also be overridden to give a concise
 * description or name of the state.  The StateImpl class handles this.
 * <P>
 * Pre- and post- actions are taken only on completed transitions between
 * different states.  Assume that the FSM is in state A, and the FSM will
 * transition to state B under input I with action X.  If A != B and X completes
 * successfully, then after X completes execution, A.postAction is executed,
 * followed by B.preAction.
