Jippie! Finally got the Sub Statemachine declaration understandable for end-users.

Reworked the hierarchical state machine processing in terms of sub
processing.
Now, the declaration and usage of subs is completely understandable and
easy to implement.
I am excited to see how end-users will see the possibilities.
