Why is getState() method/State property in the generated Context class and not in FSMContext?

If placed in FSMContext, it would have to return a vanilla State object which does nothing, forcing the need to downcast the reference to the generated State class. I chose not to place downcasts throughout the generated code but instead use one downcast in getState(). This getState() must be placed in the generated Context class and not in FSMContext.
