Description
## Description
Including the entity generation instead of just the index within the [component event](https://docs.rs/specs/0.16.1/specs/storage/enum.ComponentEvent.html) used by `FlaggedStorage`.
## Motivation
When an entity is deleted removal events are generated for its components in `FlaggedStorage`s. If another entity is created at the same index there is no way to tell if the removed components are from the old entity or the new one. When using this for network syncing the means we end up sending useless component removed events (since we can't be sure they don't apply to the new entity).
## Drawbacks
This would be a breaking change and would increase the size of `ComponentEvent`
## Unresolved questions

I would be happy to implement this if approved.
