/// # Usage
/// Typically, to test a system, or to extract specific diagnostics information from a world,
/// you'd need a [`Schedule`](crate::schedule::Schedule) to run the system. This can create redundant boilerplate code

///
/// ## Immediate Command Execution
///
/// This usage is helpful when trying to test systems or functions that operate on [`Commands`](crate::system::Commands):
/// ```
/// # use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
/// # use bevy_ecs::system::RunSystemOnce;
/// let mut world = World::default();
/// let entity = world.run_system_once(|mut commands: Commands| {
///     commands.spawn_empty().id()
/// }).unwrap();
/// # assert!(world.get_entity(entity).is_ok());
/// ```
///
/// ## Immediate Queries
///
/// This usage is helpful when trying to run an arbitrary query on a world for testing or debugging purposes:
/// ```
/// # use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
/// # use bevy_ecs::system::RunSystemOnce;
///
/// #[derive(Component)]
/// struct T(usize);
///
/// let mut world = World::default();
/// world.spawn(T(0));
/// world.spawn(T(1));
/// world.spawn(T(1));
/// let count = world.run_system_once(|query: Query<&T>| {
///     query.iter().filter(|t| t.0 == 1).count()
/// }).unwrap();
///
/// # assert_eq!(count, 2);
/// ```

///
/// ```
/// # use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
/// # use bevy_ecs::system::RunSystemOnce;
///
/// #[derive(Component)]
/// struct T(usize);
///
/// fn count(query: Query<&T>) -> usize {
