QuickForm Controller statemachine

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The docs for QFC include a statemachine.php example and a few words of description about it. The description states that there is another way of doing this, by doing the determination of next/back action "at the controller level". Alas, there's no example of how exactly to do this "at the controller level", nor do I even understand exactly what they mean by that. Perhaps they mean subclassing the Controller::handle() method, or do they mean doing $controller->addAction() instead of $page->addAction()? It was unclear to me. The example code appears to subclass at the page level, creating (IMHO) an ugly and unreadable cut-and-paste of a different action object and perform() method for each page's next and back actions. It looks like they just copied and pasted code from HTML_QuickForm_Action_Next/Back 6 times-- I suspect there's a better way. What I'd like to do is to be able to subclass the default Next/Back actions, create a data structure within it that maps out the state machine, write a few lines to walk through that structure to figure out which state is next, insert it somewhere into $data, then call the parent::perform() to do the rest. Reading over my question, I'm not sure how coherent it sounds, but after using QF for 7 months I'm finally branching out into QFC, and trying to get my brain around it.
