# Objective
The `SystemParamFunction` (and `ExclusiveSystemParamFunction`) trait is very cumbersome to use, due to it requiring four generic type parameters. These are currently all used as marker parameters to satisfy rust's trait coherence rules.
### Example (before)
```rust
pub fn pipe<AIn, Shared, BOut, A, AParam, AMarker, B, BParam, BMarker>(
mut system_a: A,
mut system_b: B,
) -> impl FnMut(In<AIn>, ParamSet<(AParam, BParam)>) -> BOut
where
A: SystemParamFunction<AIn, Shared, AParam, AMarker>,
B: SystemParamFunction<Shared, BOut, BParam, BMarker>,
AParam: SystemParam,
BParam: SystemParam,
```
## Solution
Turn the `In`, `Out`, and `Param` generics into associated types. Merge the marker types together to retain coherence.
### Example (after)
```rust
pub fn pipe<A, B, AMarker, BMarker>(
mut system_a: A,
mut system_b: B,
) -> impl FnMut(In<A::In>, ParamSet<(A::Param, B::Param)>) -> B::Out
where
A: SystemParamFunction<AMarker>,
B: SystemParamFunction<BMarker, In = A::Out>,
```

## Changelog
+ Simplified the `SystemParamFunction` and `ExclusiveSystemParamFunction` traits.
## Migration Guide
For users of the `SystemParamFunction` trait, the generic type parameters `In`, `Out`, and `Param` have been turned into associated types. The same has been done with the `ExclusiveSystemParamFunction` trait.
