I want to add components to a started system, but I'm unsure of a 
component-idiomatic way to do that.

I don't want to restart the whole component stack.  I'm guessing assoc'ing 
a new component to the system-map result isn't a good idea (though I've 
read words that sounded like it was a fine thing to do), but then I'd have 
a component that hasn't been started residing with other components that 
have been started.

I though of adding a static component called akin to a pooling component, 
which I would then modify directly in response to my needs, but then I'd 
have a mutable component and that isn't particularly desirable either.

For purposes of discussion let's say this is what I want:

(component/system-map
  {:connection (make-connection)
   :subscriber-1 (component/using (make-subscriber) [:connection])
   ... more subscribers after starting the system ...
  }
)

It isn't a nice prospect to declare all my subscribers at system-map 
declaration time or (start) lifecycle time,
I want my system to respond like a service and add new instances of what 
are essentially components.

So I either need to graft more components to the resulting system-map, or 
make a make a system map entity that is mutable and tracks the pool of 
subscribers.
Under this model I'd have 

(component/system-map
  {:connection (make-connection)
   :subscriber-pool (component/using (make-subscriber-pool) [:connection])
  })

Then I'd basically have functions to mutate (:subscriber-pool system) by 
adding/removing subscribers

Thoughts?
