--------------------------------------------------------------
@Aljoscha Krettek In that case, i think we should provide {{UpdatableState}}
instead of {{ReadableState}}.
Now {{State}} is updatable because it has the method {{clear()}}. If
{{ReadableState}} does not inherit from {{State}}. I would prefer
{{ReadableState}} inherits from {{State}}; otherwise, it's very weird that a
readable state is not a state.
>From this point, i think the base {{State}} should be readable, and a new
>interface {{UpdatableState}} could be provided to abstract those states
>allowing both reads and writes.

> Currently, the only method provided by the State interface is `clear()`. I
> think we should provide another method called `get()` to return the
> structured value (e.g., value, list, or map) under the current key.
> In fact, the functionality of `get()` has already been implemented in all
> types of states: e.g., `value()` in ValueState and `get()` in ListState. The
> modification to the interface can better abstract these states.
