## About The Pull Request

Empy lists. There are a lot of 'em.

Going through ways to reduce memory I found a few easy ones here. Wires,
the edible component, the seethrough component. None of these are really
a concern when it comes to needing lists in memory for performance
reasons. Wires aren't going to be cut most of the time for each door. A
lot of food does not have any junkiness. Seethrough component lies
dormant most of the round. Etc.

Making lists lazy in these cases should be a no brainer.

Everything I tested still seems to work exactly the same.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Frees memory that is just taking up space a lot of the time.

## Changelog

Not player-facing, this is all under-the-hood stuff.

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 its arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.

See/Define signals and their arguments in __DEFINES\components.dm
