How do you get a View with optional parameters?

[NitroPlum]

Is there a way to use the View syntax to get a view with optional parameters? I assume so considering you can do it as part of a function declaration. The below doesn't work but I'd assume something like that is possible.

private var needsGizmo:View<Position, Sprite> = getLinkedView(Position, ?Sprite);

There's no syntax sugar for that, no. Under the hood, optional components aren't in the view at all.

//`Sprite` is an optional component, since it isn't in the view.
private var needsGizmo:View<Position> = getLinkedView(Position);

The view gives you a reference to the entity, and you can use that to check for any component you like.

needsGizmo.iter(function(entity:Entity, position:Position) {
	var sprite:Null<Sprite> = entity.get(Sprite);
	if(sprite != null) {
		//...
	}
});

Doh. Yep that makes sense. In any case hopefully these discussion questions can help others as they find them.
