If we run into problems where these events aren't dispatched (initialized on a different thread than the main thread?) we may need to create a separate thread to handle device notifications like we do with the windows joystick subsystem.
If you enable this, you'll need to link with CoreBluetooth.framework and add something like this to your Info.plist:
<key>NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription</key>
<string>MyApp would like to remain connected to nearby bluetooth Game Controllers and Game Pads even when you're not using the app.</string>
It needs to use Bool (which is an int) and not BOOL (which is CARD8), which
causes problems on platforms with different byte order and alignment, etc.
Fixes Bugzilla #4326.
Polling without wl_display_flush() never responds to ping requests.
In that case ping-pong works only on other events, such as user input
or on frame swapped.

Xcode warns about
"Traditional headermap style is no longer supported; please migrate to using separate headermaps and set 'ALWAYS_SEARCH_USER_PATHS' to NO."
Just doing the latter is enough to silence the warning without ill effects on compiling. This affects the macOS Xcode projects as well as the iOS projects. Definitely not a bug but an annoying warning that could go away.

Creating a full-screen SDL renderer on Windows will keep the screensaver
suspended by DirectX, as is default for full-screen DX applications. However,
for applications that render in windowed-mode, the screensaver will
still kick in, even if SDL_DisableScreenSaver() is called or
SDL_HINT_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER is set to 0 (default). Implementing
a SuspendScreenSaver() function for Win32 fixes this behavior.
This means that if you have two devices named "Soundblaster Pro" in your
machine, one will be reported as "Soundblaster Pro" and the other as
"Soundblaster Pro (2)".
This makes it so you can't into a position where one of your devices can't
be opened because another is sitting on the same name.

SDL_RenderCopyEx blits wrong image (in some cases it's bunch of alternating horizontal lines, some cases it's image from the wrong coordinate, and in some cases it's just a bunch of garbled pixels), when the following conditions are met:
- Use software renderer.
- Enable either horizontal or vertical flip.
- source and destination rectangles must have same width and height, and must be smaller than the size of the texture.
- source rectangle's X and Y coordinates must be 0.
