+
+	This is a smart+stupid method of maintaining paths during refactors.
+	At this point in time we have more maps than ever, and our tools just aren't that great.
+	So instead of repathing all the maps...
+
+	Keep the old path defined, just as an empty type with that path, and then define it's
+	parent_type as the new path, effectively maintaining the object/mob w/e without having
+	to touch all the maps, avoiding all those nasty conflicts!
+
+	Ideally the old paths would be cleaned out as mappers go about their usual routine of
+	updating old maps.
+
+	tl;dr TYPEFUCKERY, because fuck updating all these maps
+
+	Example:
+
+	/obj/structure/bed/chair/janicart/secway
+		parent_type = /obj/vehicle/secway
