@shixiaogang you can also do that, but then the machinery in
`SimpleStateDescriptor` is only used by `ValueStateDescriptor` because this is
really the only descriptor that has a default value. (In my original
implementation it was like this and only `ValueStateDescriptor` had the
serialisation logic and a default value.)
> Add get() method in State interface

> 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.
