AddComponent/AddElement now support named arguments. This requires passing around an argument list instead of using actual proc args which a bit gross but we can blame byond for forcing this. InheritComponent uses mirrored init arguments instead of an argument list which means no more accessing it via index to get to the same arguments as in init. As a small bonus I restructured dcs defines to be a bit more manageable. Mainly just splits them into separate files and gives them their own folder.
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.
