# Objective
Newest installment of the #16547 series.
In #18319 we introduced `Entity` defaults to accomodate the most common
use case for these types, however that resulted in the switch of the `T`
and `N` generics of `UniqueEntityArray`.
Swapping generics might be somewhat acceptable for `UniqueEntityArray`,
it is not at all acceptable for map and set types, which we would make
generic over `T: EntityEquivalent` in #18408.
Leaving these defaults in place would result in a glaring inconsistency
between these set collections and the others.
Additionally, the current standard in the engine is for "entity" to mean
`Entity`. APIs could be changed to accept `EntityEquivalent`, however
that is a separate and contentious discussion.
## Solution
Name these set collections `UniqueEntityEquivalent*`, and retain the
`UniqueEntity*` name for an alias of the `Entity` case.
While more verbose, this allows for all generics to be in proper order,
full consistency between all set types*, and the "entity" name to be
restricted to `Entity`.
On top of that, `UniqueEntity*` now always have 1 generic less, when
previously this was not enforced for the default case.
*`UniqueEntityIter<I: Iterator<T: EntityEquivalent>>` is the sole
exception to this. Aliases are unable to enforce bounds
(`lazy_type_alias` is needed for this), so for this type, doing this
split would be a mere suggestion, and in no way enforced.
Iterator types are rarely ever named, and this specific one is intended
to be aliased when it sees more use, like we do for the corresponding
set collection iterators.
Furthermore, the `EntityEquivalent` precursor `Borrow<Entity>` was used
exactly because of such iterator bounds!
Because of that, we leave it as is.
While no migration guide for 0.15 users, for those that upgrade from
main:
`UniqueEntityVec<T>` -> `UniqueEntityEquivalentVec<T>`
`UniqueEntitySlice<T>` -> `UniqueEntityEquivalentSlice<T>`
`UniqueEntityArray<N, T>` -> `UniqueEntityEquivalentArray<T, N>`
