Hm.

I definitely won't want a WfmsAdmin.pause() or step() methods.

Possibly some way to make a particular case explicitly stepped,
so then a processCase.step() might possibly fire a transition.

Though, there are significantly more Transitions in the petri than 
there are steps in something like Hanoi.  So, we'd have to be
able to step by at the Petri-level and at the Idiom level.

That's entirely possible.  Though, I'm going to say "no" to
"can we rewind a flow" at this point.  Too many other things
higher on the priority list. :)
