The initial idea for wildcard components, contained within a class and with self-removal (made specifically for ephemeral components at the time, https://github.com/TinkerStorm/story-engine/commit/eda121e934d8aaeb3dbec96235cd5134b32b1368#diff-c5149d754d0b17617d7ea33dad86ed50b7fd50924ef1e86be57c143f4073aa0b).
