It certainly does not.  The OP asked for something to run.

The source code can be found through the pull request:

    https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/960

which points at a diff towards a branch in my GitHub repository:

    https://github.com/erlang/otp/compare/maint...RaimoNiskanen:raimo/new-gen-state-machine/OTP-13065

In the pull request discussion i have linked to ready-built documentation:

    http://erlang.org/~raimo/doc-7.2/lib/stdlib-2.7/doc/html/gen_statem.html

which many in the discussion dislike, but it is a reference manual so it
has to be complete and therefore looks complex.  There are no simple
examples.  Yet.
