Description: # farc
        
        Framework for Asyncio/Actor/AHSM Run-to-completion Concurrency
        written in Python3.
        In other words, a cheap knock-off of QP (www.state-machine.com)
        that uses coroutines instead of threads.
        [This book](https://newcontinuum.dl.sourceforge.net/project/qpc/doc/PSiCC2.pdf)
        describes QP and how to program hierarchical state machines.
        
        This framework has fewer than 1000 LOC.  It allows the programmer to create highly-concurrent
        programs by using a message-passing system and run-to-completion message handlers
        within a state-machine architecture.  With these tools, complex, asynchronous operations
        are decomposed into managable chunks of code.
        
        Known Issue: On windows, Ctrl+C is supressed by asyncio event loop's run_forever() ([bug report](https://bugs.python.org/issue23057)).
        The workaround is to inject an event to awake the event loop.
        
        Note:  This project used to be called "pq" but that name was taken in PyPI,
        so I renamed to farc (ugh).  If you see "pq" in the code anywhere, it means farc.
