 The read operations extend from those in the `Mapping <https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.abc.html#collections.abc.Mapping>`_
 interface, but there are a few extra:
 
-.. code-block:: python

-    state.subset(["foo", "bar"])  # return a new state with only the keys "foo" and "bar"
-    state.get_all()  # return a dictionary with every key/value of the state

 When an update action is run, the state is first subsetted to get just the keys that are being read from,
 then the action is run, and a new state is written to. This state is merged back into the original state
