Re: [w3c/gamepad] Make gamepads accessible by web worker (#37)

> Handling Gamepads from workers would be like handling mouse/keyboard/touch/pointer events from workers, which is (of course) not done.

Unlike mouse/keyboard/touch or pointer inputs which are handled by events, the gamepad API requires polling to obtain input values.
A polling job is definitely something I would like to handle in a worker and not burden the main thread with that. Especially in cases where the polling rate is not synchronized with the animation frame.
