start-with-states only works with functions

[didibus]

I've noticed that when using start-with-states, you have to wrap all yous start and stop states in a function. This is different from the defstate macro, which support scalars and literals and vars, etc.

the idea is that in case you need "scalars and literals and vars, etc." you can use start-with instead.

you would normally use start-with-states when you need functions: i.e. to create something and then to destroy it.

this is also consistent with swap vs. swap-states when you compose states.

Ah ok, makes sense.
