State machine with generators

lamp.js

/*
Lamps often have on-off switches that twist clockwise, clicking as they do.
Some such switches have four states, even though the lamp has only two (on, and off).
On these lamps clicking the switch will only cause an on/off transition every other click.
Just looking at the lamp you'll know if it's on, but not if the next click will turn it off.
To reliably interact with such a lamp you will use an algorithm, even in real life.
I use the term strategy to refer to an algorithm expressed with generators like this --
the strategy pattern is useful to abstract an algorithm from the representation of the data.
