   * @brief A factory class to ease Factored Markov Decision Process
   * construction.
   * @ingroup fmdp_group
   * A FMDPFactory will never create a Factored Markov Decision Process and
   * works on only one
   * Factored Markov Decision Process.
   *
   * The only exception of this behaviour is when you create a copy of the
   * factory,
   * it will create a copy of its FMDP. This is useful when you want to create
   * two FMDP sharing a common base.
   * However be very careful because the copy will not delete its FMDP.
   *
   * Each method will raise an OperationNotAllowed if you call it when the
   * factory
   * is not in a valid state for that call. The error message is "Illegal
   * state.".
