[erlang-bugs] R15B02 : wish list : missing gen_fsm state view in observer application.

[Robert Virding]

A very simple work-around is to use gen_fsm:sync_send_all_state_event/2 and ask it. You can then return whatever you need. Using this call you don't need to add the event to every state. By staying in the same state it is effectively a no-op.
