i finally found a use for a state machine

i took a cs class at unr back almost two years ago and they taught us how to build state machines. it's a really cool topic but i hadn't had any reason to use one. today i implemented a binary tree iterator using a state machine. instead of using a stack each node has a parent pointer. the iterator has pointers to the current and previous nodes. i'm pretty stoked.
