//! Entity handling types.
//!
//! An **entity** exclusively owns zero or more [component] instances, all of different types, and can dynamically acquire or lose them over its lifetime.
//!
//! **empty entity**: Entity with zero components.
//! **pending entity**: Entity reserved, but not flushed yet (see [`Entities::flush`] docs for reference).
//! **reserved entity**: same as **pending entity**.
//! **invalid entity**: **pending entity** flushed with invalid (see [`Entities::flush_as_invalid`] docs for reference).
//!
//! See [`Entity`] to learn more.

//! [component]: crate::component::Component

/// # Entity ids
///
/// It is important to keep in mind that an [`Entity`] is just an id for a conceptual entity.
/// Conceptual entities are just a collection of zero or more components,
/// but [`Entity`] ids may or may not correspond to a conceptual entity.
///
/// Each [`EntityRow`] corresponds to a potential conceptual entity.
/// This can happen if, for example, the row has not been allocated, or it has been allocated and has not been [`constructed`](World::construct), or it has been since [destructed](World::destruct).
/// Entity rows may also be pending reuse, etc.
///
/// For a [`Entity`] id to correspond to a conceptual entity, its row must do so, and it must have the most up to date generation of that row.
/// This can be un-intuitive sometimes, because an allocated [`Entity`] id that is perfectly correct but not constructed yet, still does not correspond to a conceptual entity.
/// This is why spawning an entity from commands will provide an [`Entity`] that, technically, does not exist yet; it's just that it is *queued* to exist soon.
///
/// # Aliasing
///
/// Once an entity is despawned, it ceases to exist.
