/**
 * This structure implements a finite state machine for filtering comments of the input file.
 * The comment starts with '#' at any place save in quotas and after backslash. The comment ends be fors non-backslashed end of line.
 * Backslashed end of line consists of the backslash, any sequence of whitespaces
 *
 * We assume, that json parser use backslash as an escape character, so we also have to escape any special meaning
 * of the next character, but we keep backslash on the place.
 * 
 * Don't ask me for syntactic bloat. This struct has to define \p transition_table of the FSM. Access to the rules is
 * provided by methods derived from \p io::finite_state_machine. Then the FSM is  used to implement filter.
