Rails core - Feb 2009 - acts_as_state_machine: showing error messages on transition denied by guard

I am looking into using acts_as_state_machine plugin in a project.
What completely bums me is that all transition guards are completely
silent, i.e. if a transition is denied based on something, there''s no
built in way to vent it to the user. I am sure I am not the only one
who sees that as a problem. Anybody developed a "best practice"
solution for this situation?

This is kinda the wrong list for that question and I''m not sure if
it''ll get an answer. But rick was doing some work on pulling state
machines into active model, perhaps he has some ideas about enhancing
the api?
