That does look good.  Feels like a bit of a shame the machine!() macro
isn't its own crate with a more generic name, because I'm sure there are
all sorts of situations in which that's useful.  As it is, I'd feel a
bit concerned about depending on a crate about state machines to define
some enums, because that could be very confusing for somebody reading
the code.
