Is it correct that Boost.FSM can not defer an events (I didn't found a statement in the docs)?
That means in yout tutorial the state Processing consumes the event passed to template< typename T > void on_process(T const&)? If so - how Boost.FSM supports you if the order of passed events are not predictable?
