Example usage of a hypothetical moveTurtleDown machine in JavaScript

moveTurtleDown({
  meters: 0.42,
  howFast: 'fast'
}, {
  success: function(newCoordinates) { ... },
  ranOutOfGas: function() { ... },
  fellOffCliff: function(didTurtleSurvive){ ... }
});

(where the ...s are implementations for callback functions passed in from userland. success is like the standard return value of a function, while the other two exits can be thought of like two different types of exceptions the machine could throw)
