Absolutely. The navigation behaviors will have to be in functions though. And from an application code developer's perspective, the connection between these objects and functions may not be obvious. If only there were some way to associate behavior with state.

The whole point of the top comment is that they appreciate how this library chose not to associate behavior with state, and instead organized things as functions and data structures.

With the latter approach, the user is not limited to the bahaviors that the library author wrote. The data (not state) can be used freely. Similarly, the functions are not tied to any particular state - the data can come from anywhere, as long as it has the right shape.
