+/**
+ * Declares one or more types of controllers supported by this core.
+ * The frontend may then allow the player to select one of these controllers in its menu.
+ *
+ * Many consoles had controllers that came in different versions,
+ * were extensible with peripherals,
+ * or could be held in multiple ways;
+ * this environment call can be used to represent these differences
+ * and adjust the core's behavior to match.
+ *
+ * Possible use cases include:
+ *
+ * \li Supporting different classes of a single controller that supported their own sets of games.
+ *     For example, the SNES had two different lightguns (the Super Scope and the Justifier)
+ *     whose games were incompatible with each other.
+ * \li Representing a platform's alternative controllers.
+ *     For example, several platforms had music/rhythm games that included controllers
+ *     shaped like musical instruments.
+ * \li Representing variants of a standard controller with additional inputs.
+ *     For example, numerous consoles in the 90's introduced 6-button controllers for fighting games,
+ *     steering wheels for racing games,
+ *     or analog sticks for 3D platformers.
+ * \li Representing add-ons for consoles or standard controllers.
+ *     For example, the 3DS had a Circle Pad Pro attachment that added a second analog stick.
+ * \li Selecting different configurations for a single controller.
+ *     For example, the Wii Remote could be held sideways like a traditional game pad
+ *     or in one hand like a wand.
+ * \li Providing multiple ways to simulate the experience of using a particular controller.
+ *     For example, the Game Boy Advance featured several games
+ *     with motion or light sensors in their cartridges;
+ *     a core could provide controller configurations
+ *     that allow emulating the sensors with either analog axes
+ *     or with their host device's sensors.
+ *
+ * Should be called in retro_load_game.
+ * The frontend must maintain its own copy of the provided array,
+ * including all strings and subobjects.
+ * A core may exclude certain controllers for known incompatible games.
+ *
+ * When the frontend changes the active device for a particular port,
+ * it must call \c retro_set_controller_port_device() with that port's index
+ * and one of the IDs defined in its retro_controller_info::types field.
+ *
+ * Input ports are generally associated with different players
+ * (and the frontend's UI may reflect this with "Player 1" labels),
+ * but this is not required.
+ * Some games use multiple controllers for a single player,
+ * or some cores may use port indexes to represent an emulated console's
+ * alternative input peripherals.

+ * @li Choosing a default value at runtime for a specific game,
+ *     such as a BIOS file whose region matches that of the loaded content.

+ * @note A guiding principle of libretro's API design is that
+ * all common interactions (gameplay, menu navigation, etc.)
