MessageContext class abstract

Provides information to a state about the message that is being processed.

This context is provided as an argument to TreeState.onMessage. In addition to providing access to the message that is being processed, it has several methods that allow a message handler to indicate the result its processsing. For example, the handler can indicate that a state transition should occur by calling goTo, or that message processing should be delegated to its parent state by calling unhandled.
