It's a valid point. Documentation was lacking much info about exceptions
safety. I've just added it here ->
http://boost-experimental.github.io/msm-lite/overview/index.html#exception-safety
Currently, there is no much policy about exception handling though.
However, if guard/action throws state machine will be in a defined state.
Any problems you have encountered with the exceptions? Suggestions are more
than welcome as I'm not sure what would be the best solution here.

Can you elaborate what you mean by `inheritance of state machines`, please?
Is the question related to composite/sub state machines or just whether a
state machine might be inherited?

Best,

MSM has a policy called `no_exception` which basically disable catching
exceptions. Otherwise they are caught within the process_event.
Don't know how statechart is handling it.
