Hello Brett

Welcome to the community. I just have a question: does QQSM build on top of 
the QStateMachine framework, or does it replace completely? If the latter, is 
there any plan to integrate them again?

Note that QStateMachine is more or less orphan in QtCore, so if you want to 
drive its future development, you're more than welcome to.

In any case, I support this request for the playground.

I'll see you in two weeks.
