There are games like subnautica, and escape from tarkov, that have items that take up multiple slots worth of space. I was unaware of this potential configuration when making this.

This is not a feature that is planned, this is just something the crate does not support right now but could in the future.
I don't think there are any good ways of adding this in without making some breaking changes.

The best way I can think of for doing this is splitting the library up into containers, each with a generic implementation for a different type of inventory system. Doing it like this would just mean importing stuff from standard or spatial or whatever other generic inventory ends up being created, like so:

use game_inventory::spatial::*;
// or...
use game_inventory::standard::*;

I should add this to the restrictions section of the docs, although going through the trouble of publishing a new version to update the docs seems like a bad idea.
