+  * The capacity of this `EquipmentSlot` is essentially treated as 1x1.
+  * Upon insertions, however, the capacity temporarily is treated as the size of the item being inserted (unless `None`).

+  * Rather than operating on a fixed-size slot, this "slot" represents an inventory region that either includes `slot` or starts at `slot`.
+  * When determining the contents of the inventory at `slot`, only that singular cell is checked.
+  * When removing an item from `slot`, the item in inventory only has to be positioned in such a way that overlaps with `slot`.
+  * When adding an item to `slot`, `slot` is treated as the upper left corner (the initial point) of a larger capacity region.<br>
