That is what ConcreteElement is for. If you look at Turbine, Screens,
Navigations, Layouts all return a ConcreteElement and this works just fine
as a generic parent. Also, chaining was a priority for me. I felt that that
is a very important feature of ECS because it makes the code MUCH more
readable.
