On the subject of Constructors/destructors for state entry/exit-

A consideration is that the state object also gets deleted on shutdown
(or deletion of the FSM), which is not a state-transition event as such.

Entry/Exit functions are more explicitly about state transitions,
whereas destructors/constructors make us need to think about state
object lifetimes and needlessly constrain implementation down a certain
path.
