Vincent Ambo 45afa18846 feat(postgres): Compatibility with new associated error type Changes the implementation of action execution to deal with the returned associated errors. The only sensible constraint on those errors that I could think of for now is `Debug`, meaning that errors are now persisted as debug messages. This is not as nice to work with for a future implementation of retryable actions as the equivalent in Haskell, but maybe an idea shows up underway. The main issue is that most of the common error types will not be implementing Serde traits, so serialization to/from the same error type is difficult. Adding an implementation constraint for JSON serialisation on error types (i.e. `S::Error: Serialize + Deserialize`) would probably cause headaches for users, especially if they are trying to use an out-of-the-box error type or an error type wrapping foreign errors.

Finito

This is a Rust port of the Haskell state-machine library Finito. It is slightly less featureful because it loses the ability to ensure that side-effects are contained and because of a slight reduction in expressivity, which makes it a bit more restrictive.

However, it still implements the FSM model well enough.

Components

Finito is split up into multiple independent components (note: not all of these exist yet), separating functionality related to FSM persistence from other things.

finito: Core abstraction implemented by Finito
finito-door: Example implementation of a simple, lockable door
finito-postgres: Persistent state-machines using Postgres

Note: The finito core library does not contain any tests. Its coverage is instead provided by the finito-door library, which actually implements an example FSM.

These are split out because the documentation for finito-door is interesting regardless and because other Finito packages also need an example implementation.
