//! 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
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! Operations involving entities and their components are performed either from a system by submitting commands,
//! or from the outside (or from an exclusive system) by directly using [`World`] methods:
//!
//! |Operation|Command|Method|
//! |:---:|:---:|:---:|
//! |Spawn an entity with components|[`Commands::spawn`]|[`World::spawn`]|
//! |Spawn an entity without components|[`Commands::spawn_empty`]|[`World::spawn_empty`]|
//! |Despawn an entity|[`EntityCommands::despawn`]|[`World::despawn`]|
//! |Insert a component, bundle, or tuple of components and bundles to an entity|[`EntityCommands::insert`]|[`EntityWorldMut::insert`]|
//! |Remove a component, bundle, or tuple of components and bundles from an entity|[`EntityCommands::remove`]|[`EntityWorldMut::remove`]|

/// Lightweight identifier of an [entity](crate::entity).
///
/// The identifier is implemented using a [generational index]: a combination of an index and a generation.

///
/// These identifiers are only valid on the [`World`] it's sourced from. Attempting to use an `Entity` to

/// [generational index]: https://lucassardois.medium.com/generational-indices-guide-8e3c5f7fd594

/// # Stability warning
/// For all intents and purposes, `Entity` should be treated as an opaque identifier. The internal bit
/// representation is liable to change from release to release as are the behaviors or performance
/// characteristics of any of its trait implementations (i.e. `Ord`, `Hash`, etc.). This means that changes in
/// `Entity`'s representation, though made readable through various functions on the type, are not considered
/// breaking changes under [SemVer].
///
/// In particular, directly serializing with `Serialize` and `Deserialize` make zero guarantee of long
/// term wire format compatibility. Changes in behavior will cause serialized `Entity` values persisted
/// to long term storage (i.e. disk, databases, etc.) will fail to deserialize upon being updated.
///
