/**
 * State superclass. Contains a list of transitions, and transition methods.
 *
 * Transition methods all have the same signature. They take 3 parameters:
 *
 * - An `re` match object. ``match.string`` contains the matched input line,
 * ``match.start()`` gives the start index of the match, and
 * ``match.end()`` gives the end index.
 * - A context object, whose meaning is application-defined (initial value
 * ``None``). It can be used to store any information required by the state
 * machine, and the retured context is passed on to the next transition
 * method unchanged.
 * - The name of the next state, a string, taken from the transitions list;
 * normally it is returned unchanged, but it may be altered by the
 * transition method if necessary.
 *
 * Transition methods all return a 3-tuple:
 *
 * - A context object, as (potentially) modified by the transition method.
 * - The next state name (a return value of ``None`` means no state change).
 * - The processing result, a list, which is accumulated by the state
 * machine.
 *
 * Transition methods may raise an `EOFError` to cut processing short.
 *
 * There are two implicit transitions, and corresponding transition methods
 * are defined: `bof()` handles the beginning-of-file, and `eof()` handles
 * the end-of-file. These methods have non-standard signatures and return
 * values. `bof()` returns the initial context and results, and may be used
 * to return a header string, or do any other processing needed. `eof()`
 * should handle any remaining context and wrap things up; it returns the
 * final processing result.
 *
 * Typical applications need only subclass `State` (or a subclass), set the
 * `patterns` and `initial_transitions` class attributes, and provide
 * corresponding transition methods. The default object initialization will
 * take care of constructing the list of transitions.
