Sorry, I should have been more clear in my initial message.

It seems to me that -conceptually- gen_statem has three queues:

* The next_event queue (which actually seems to behave like a stack)
* The "postpone" queue (which -I think- gets put at the front of the
next_event queue (but _after_ any {next_event...} actions passed along
in the state transition tuple) on state machine state change)
* The regular process mailbox

Is this wildly incorrect?

If my understanding is correct, then call/cast/! will put the message at
the tail of the process mailbox, yes? Additionally, does gen_statem
provide the tools to put a message at the tail of the next_event queue,
rather than the head? Or are we only provided with the means to add
events to the head of the next_event queue?

Thanks!
