Unfortunately, no_transition is one of the few cases, where because of
implementation details, MSM already crossed the compile-time /
run-time boundary and all it has is the state id.
Annex A shows the order in which the (usually hidden) state index is
calculated. It's simply the order of appearance in the transition
table. First are source states checked, then target states.
