[ragel-users] Why state charts are incomplete (no arrows to an initial state)?

[tadam at pisem.net]

Hi everyone,
I wonder why the state charts produced by Ragel are incomplete in a sense that they do not contain the arrows backwards. For example, the basic machine "hello" produces the state chart which can be found on p.9 of Ragel .pdf manual. It show progression of the states towards the final state, but no arrows to the initial state if, say, after character 'e' the state machine gets character 'k'. Why is that? Is it done deliberately to avoid cluttering the state chart?
Another question: is there any way to search ragel-user archives without downloading all of them?
Thank you!
