Refactored the abstract meta propriety into defines. It's now more easy to spot/see abstract types thanks to the macro that defines them. Added a check on initialization of atoms to avoid spawning abstract types. Made the spawn_atom proc check for abstractness. Made the spawn_atom proc use tgui_list for types list shorter than 1000 elements, which enables to search in them. It's too laggy on larger lists so above 1000 it uses the builtin input. Made the spawn_atom use a list subtraction instead of a double list, it's lighter on memory and processing.
Datum Component System (DCS)
Concept
Loosely adapted from /vg/. This is an entity component system for adding behaviours to datums when inheritance doesn't quite cut it. By using signals and events instead of direct inheritance, you can inject behaviours without hacky overloads. It requires a different method of thinking, but is not hard to use correctly. If a behaviour can have application across more than one thing. Make it generic, make it a component. Atom/mob/obj event? Give it a signal, and forward it's arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.
See this thread for an introduction to the system as a whole.
