Re: [w3c/gamepad] Should fire events instead of using passive model (#4)

I'm not calling it that. It already exists for pointer events https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PointerEvent/getCoalescedEvents.

Not really, you get a list of events that were coalesced into that render step event. If you don't call `getCoalescedEvents`, those additional events are gone. If it behaved as you describe, it'd be a massive memory leak – you'd quickly have millions of events buffered in memory that couldn't be collected.
