## Description

About Entity Pools

\#\# Features
\* Generics support. Any type implementing IEntity (any Entity) and contains a parameterless constructor will suffice.
\* Limited capacity pools. This helps you maintain sensible entity counts and prevent excessive creations.
\* Overridable entity rent/return logic. Simply add the IPooledEntity interface to your entity.
\* Timed asynchronous returning of entities. Useful for fire and forget renting.
\* Networkable (All required functionality is implemented but is currently unusable due to S&box issues.)
