    /**
    @brief
        An implementation of a tree to manage game states.
        This leads to a certain hierarchy that is created at runtime.
        To actually use the structure, you will have to derive from it and
        implement 'enter', 'leave' and 'tick'. The latter corresponds to an
        update function.

        Internally the tree is managed by two maps per node: One stores all its
        children, grandchildren, etc. by name of the state. The other maps these
        children states to the actual child of the node.
        An example: Foo is a grandchildren of Bar and Foofoo is the Foo's parent.
        Then Bar stores Foo in map by its name. The other one then maps Foo to Foofoo.
