I would add the debugger to this.

It's a cheap way of me to say "I don't know" you would have to figure
that out either by studying the code or stepping through the debugger.

Only the things returned by #states are backtracked so nothing is
backtracked by default. Just make sure you don't accidentally
backtrack something that shouldn't be.

Maybe seeing it in action makes it easier to understand. Good entry
points are the following methods:

WASessionContinuation >> #captureState
WASnapshot >> #restore

The 2 series, so 2.8. You can find the code here [1].
