# Objective
Provide a generic `impl SystemParam for Option<P>` that uses system
parameter validation. This immediately gives useful impls for params
like `EventReader` and `GizmosState` that are defined in terms of `Res`.
It also allows third-party system parameters to be usable with `Option`,
which was previously impossible due to orphan rules.
Note that this is a behavior change for `Option<Single>`. It currently
fails validation if there are multiple matching entities, but with this
change it will pass validation and produce `None`.
Also provide an impl for `Result<P, SystemParamValidationError>`. This
allows systems to inspect the error if necessary, either for bubbling it
up or for checking the `skipped` flag.

## Solution
Add generic `SystemParam` impls for `Option` and `Result`, and remove
the impls for specific types.
Update documentation and `fallible_params` example with the new
semantics for `Option<Single>`.
