# Objective
Any time we wish to transform the output of a system, we currently use
system piping to do so:
```rust
my_system.pipe(|In(x)| do_something(x))
```
Unfortunately, system piping is not a zero cost abstraction. Each call
to `.pipe` requires allocating two extra access sets: one for the second
system and one for the combined accesses of both systems. This also adds
extra work to each call to `update_archetype_component_access`, which
stacks as one adds multiple layers of system piping.
## Solution
Add the `AdapterSystem` abstraction: similar to `CombinatorSystem`, this
allows you to implement a trait to generically control how a system is
run and how its inputs and outputs are processed. Unlike
`CombinatorSystem`, this does not have any overhead when computing world
accesses which makes it ideal for simple operations such as inverting or
ignoring the output of a system.
Add the extension method `.map(...)`: this is similar to `.pipe(...)`,
only it accepts a closure as an argument instead of an `In<T>` system.
```rust
my_system.map(do_something)
```
This has the added benefit of making system names less messy: a system
that ignores its output will just be called `my_system`, instead of
`Pipe(my_system, ignore)`

## Changelog
TODO
## Migration Guide
The `system_adapter` functions have been deprecated: use `.map` instead,
which is a lightweight alternative to `.pipe`.
```rust
// Before:
my_system.pipe(system_adapter::ignore)
my_system.pipe(system_adapter::unwrap)
my_system.pipe(system_adapter::new(T::from))
// After:
my_system.map(std::mem::drop)
my_system.map(Result::unwrap)
my_system.map(T::from)
// Before:
my_system.pipe(system_adapter::info)
my_system.pipe(system_adapter::dbg)
my_system.pipe(system_adapter::warn)
my_system.pipe(system_adapter::error)
// After:
my_system.map(bevy_utils::info)
my_system.map(bevy_utils::dbg)
my_system.map(bevy_utils::warn)
my_system.map(bevy_utils::error)
```
