All the transitions that are involved in the process must be fully contained in source state (ie. for all transition T: S->T, if S (resp. T) is a descendant-or-self of source, then T (resp. S) must be a descendant-or-self of source).

If necessary, callable renaming_func can be provided. This function should accept a (state) name and return a (new state) name. Use renaming_func to avoid conflicting names in target statechart.

Parameters:
