We need the start method because you do not always want the entry behavior of the initial state to be called immediately but only when your state machine is ready to process events. A good example of this is when you use a state machine to write an algorithm and each loop back to the initial state is an algorithm call. Each call to start will make - the algorithm run once.

            Normally, one does not need to know the ids are generated for all the states of a state machine, unless for debugging purposes, like the pstate function does in the tutorials in order to display the name of the current state.

            We can find for the transition table more uses than what we have seen so far. Let's suppose you need to write a coverage tool. A state machine would be perfect for such a job, if only it could provide some information about its structure. Thanks to the transition table and Boost.MPL, it does.
