[Merged by Bors] - `Gamepad` type is `Copy`; do not require / return references to it in `Gamepads` API #5296

alice-i-cecile · 2022-07-12T13:28:47Z

Objective

The Gamepad type is a tiny value-containing type that implements Copy.
By convention, references to Copy types should be avoided, as they can introduce overhead and muddle the semantics of what's going on.
This allows us to reduce boilerplate reference manipulation and lifetimes in user facing code.

Solution

Make assorted methods on Gamepads take / return a raw Gamepad, rather than &Gamepad.

Migration Guide

Gamepads::iter now returns an iterator of Gamepad. rather than an iterator of &Gamepad.
Gamepads::contains now accepts a Gamepad, rather than a &Gamepad.

Labeled as breaking change since it changes function signatures.
