After getting map editing to a happy place, I decided to tackle save/load. Umm, yea, that's awful.

Bevy has a handful of "save the entities & components" capabilities:

• built-in DynamicScene: https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/prelude/struct.DynamicScene.html
• moonshine_save: https://github.com/Zeenobit/moonshine_save
• bevy_save: https://github.com/hankjordan/bevy_save

Things I learned:

• reflection is really hard in rust
• bevy_reflect has a lot of cool changes coming to make it easier
• A map editor shouldn't use entity/component-based saving
