Things I would like fixed in an eventual rewrite

• all state structure passed in to state router once at construction - no addState method, no mutability
  • allow cycles in state dependencies - make child states not aware of their parents
  • throw errors at construction-time if a state doesn't have a parent
  • no data property on states
• ability to lazy-load templates and activation functions
• more explicit transition hooks
• route guards that fire when the user tries to navigate away from a state, and allow the code to stop the transition from happening
• the ability to delegate to/call component methods instead of activate/guard/whatever methods passed in with the state object
• server-side rendering: add optional "serverSideRender" function to renderer API
• support "not found" pages by just adding a * route
  • turn notFound event into a regular error
• change the resolve function to take an arguments object instead of two ordered arguments before the callback
• state transition events should always emit the full list of states being transitioned to (maybe even all the states being transitioned from) instead of just the leaf state. Essentially https://github.com/TehShrike/abstract-state-router/pull/113 but replace the first argument with the third argument.
• require that a hash-brown-router location implementation always be passed in - don't include the hash one by default
  • don't force people to instantiate the hash-brown-router, just the location

I'll add to this list as I think of stuff
