# Objective
Currently, the `SystemParam` derive forces you to declare the lifetime parameters `<'w, 's>`, even if you don't use them.
If you don't follow this structure, the error message is quite nasty.
### Example (before):
```rust
#[derive(SystemParam)]
pub struct EventWriter<'w, 's, E: Event> {
events: ResMut<'w, Events<E>>,
// The derive forces us to declare the `'s` lifetime even though we don't use it,
// so we have to add this `PhantomData` to please rustc.
#[system_param(ignore)]
_marker: PhantomData<&'s ()>,
}
```
## Solution
* Allow the user to omit either lifetime.
* Emit a descriptive error if any lifetimes used are invalid.
### Example (after):
```rust
#[derive(SystemParam)]
pub struct EventWriter<'w, E: Event> {
events: ResMut<'w, Events<E>>,
}
```

## Changelog
* The `SystemParam` derive is now more flexible, allowing you to omit unused lifetime parameters.
