+//! Example implementation of a lockable door in Finito
+//!
+//! # What & why?
+//!
+//! This module serves as a (hopefully simple) example of how to
+//! implement finite-state machines using Finito. Note that the
+//! concepts of Finito itself won't be explained in detail here,
+//! consult its library documentation for that.
+//!
+//! Reading through this module should give you a rough idea of how to
+//! work with Finito and get you up and running modeling things
+//! *quickly*.
+//!
+//! Note: The generated documentation for this module will display the
+//! various components of the door, but it will not inform you about
+//! the actual transition logic and all that stuff. Read the source,
+//! too!
+//!
+//! # The Door
+//!
+//! My favourite example when explaining these state-machines
+//! conceptually has been to use a simple, lockable door. Our door has
+//! a keypad next to it which can be used to lock the door by entering
+//! a code, after which the same code must be entered to unlock it
+//! again.
+//!
+//! The door can only be locked if it is closed. Oh, and it has a few
+//! extra features:
+//!
+//! * whenever the door's state changes, an IRC channel receives a message about
+//!   that
+//!
+//! * the door calls the police if the code is intered incorrectly more than a
+//!   specified number of times (mhm, lets say, three)
+//!
+//! * if the police is called the door can not be interacted with anymore (and
+//!   honestly, for the sake of this example, we don't care how its
+//!   functionality is restored)
+//!
+//! ## The Door - Visualized
+//!
+//! Here's a rough attempt at drawing a state diagram in ASCII. The
+//! bracketed words denote states, the arrows denote events:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//!          <--Open---    <--Unlock-- correct code? --Unlock-->
+//!      [Opened]    [Closed]            [Locked]            [Disabled]
+//!          --Close-->    ----Lock-->
+//! ```
+//!
+//! I'm so sorry for that drawing.
+//!
+//! ## The Door - Usage example
+//!
+//! An interaction session with our final door could look like this:
+//!
+//! ```rust,ignore
+//! use finito_postgres::{insert_machine, advance};
+//!
+//! let door = insert_machine(&conn, &DoorState::Opened)?;
+//!
+//! advance(&conn, &door, DoorEvent::Close)?;
+//! advance(&conn, &door, DoorEvent::Lock(1337))?;
+//!
+//! format!("Door is now: {}", get_machine(&conn, &door)?);
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Here we have created, closed and then locked a door and inspected
+//! its state. We will see that it is locked, has the locking code we
+//! gave it and three remaining attempts to open it.
+//!
+//! Alright, enough foreplay, lets dive in!
