This is neat and probably works just fine in your case. Anyway I'm
planning on a more seamless solution not involving invalid states at
all. Initialisation would include a reset, which should work better on
monitors doing da_handle_start(), so not running the first event.
That's, by the way, pretty much what you wanted by doing reset() on the
(virtual) init transition.

We first needs Nam's simplification though [1]. We can synchronise
during this development cycle, you probably won't really need to bother
for now.

Thanks,
Gabriele
