Instead, wh-engine should provide facilities for systems to register themselves, hook into the update loop, and set up actor bucketing (see #8).

The update loop (and (run) function as a whole) will probably have to be converted to a macro for performance.

Rendering, physics, and other systems need to be supported by the engine in a flexible way. Currently, they have to be manually wired in to the main update loop and keep track of actors/components themselves. This is ugly, hard to maintain, and inflexible for game developers.
