  * Stateful classes have a list of states (accesible through class.states).
  * When a method is invoked on an instance of such classes, it is first looked up on the class current state (accesible through class.currentState)
  * If a method is not found on the current state, or if current state is nil, the method is looked up on the class itself
  * It is possible to change states by doing class:gotoState(stateName)
