^^^^^^^^^^^
Surely this should say "redundant", not "meaningless"?

"..., but platforms which implement @open() should also provide a @close()
which cleans up transitions which aborted before @enter()."
Otherwise it seems rather unclear why this exists, since all platforms know
that things are "normal" as soon as enter() gets back from its transition.
(What can I say ... I like to see things be clear!) Yes, systems may do more
than that when it gets this call; but the minimum involves just that cleanup.
