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.
On Mojave, this will report large numbers for retina displays in fullscreen
mode, which isn't how it works on previous versions.

I have no idea if this works (or if it ever worked, having now examined this
code), as I have no way to compile or test this.
If it's broken, send patches. :)
This means it doesn't have to block while the current frame finishes using the
vertex buffer; it just moves on to the next, probably-not-in-use buffer.
- high-level filters out duplicate render commands from the queue so
backends don't have to.
- Setting draw color is now a render command, so backends can put color
information into the vertex buffer to upload with everything else instead
of setting it with slower dynamic data later.
- backends can request that they always batch, even for legacy programs,
since the lowlevel API can deal with it (Metal, and eventually Vulkan
and such...)
- high-level makes sure the queue has at least one setdrawcolor and
setviewport command before any draw calls, so the backends don't ever have
to manage cases where this hasn't been explicitly set yet.
- backends allocating vertex buffer space can specify alignment, and the
high-level will keep track of gaps in the buffer between the last used
positions and the aligned data that can be used for later allocations
(Metal and such need to specify some constant data on 256 byte boundaries,
but we don't want to waste all that space we had to skip to meet alignment
requirements).
