    • All enterState are documented with 'ENTER: state_name'
    • All exitState are documented with 'EXIT: state_name
    • All events are documented with 'EVENT: state_name fired [event_name] with n argument(s)'
    • Any time your application is configured in such a way that it will break, you will get a console or exception
    • All Async starts and stops will be outputted to the console.
    • Will warn you if you forgot to return true when using willEnterState()
  • Full: this is the file named stativus.js and is a normal version for production use
