That’s a fair question to ask.
My intuition is that sporting a `Component` answers a question, “does it have
this feature?” In the case of self-propelling creatures, you’d probably ask,
“does it have legs”. On the other hand, asking, “does it (still) have a front
left leg?” assumes that in general this entity has legs you can ask questions
about. All of which would suggest that `SpiderLegs` component would be
sufficient for most spider games…
As for the `add` and `remove` methods, I’d probably also return the removed
component (if any):
mutating func remove<T: Component>(_: T.Type) -> T? {
return components.removeValueForKey(T.name) as? T
}
