/**
* A simplified syntax for accessing entity components.
* E.g. to get the @c Position component, write:
*
* @code
* CmpPtr<ICmpPosition> cmpPosition(context, ent);
* if (!cmpPosition)
* // do something (maybe just silently abort; you should never crash if the
* // component is missing, even if you're sure it should never be missing)
* @endcode
*
* where @c context is (if you're writing component code) a CSimContext object, or
* (if you're writing external engine code that makes use of the simulation system)
* a CSimulation2 object; and @c ent is the entity ID.
*
* @c ent can be CComponentManager::SYSTEM_ENTITY (if you're writing a component), or
* CSimulation2::SYSTEM_ENTITY (for external code), if you want to access the global
* singleton system components.
*
* You should never hold onto a component pointer outside of the method in which you acquire
* it, because it might get deleted and invalidate your pointer. (Components will never be
* deleted while inside a simulation method.)
