What's the difference between the arcade_stick and joystick tags? If there's not any, then one should be aliased to the other before implicating game_controller.

Always under the impression that joystick is the "stick" on most game controllers nowadays (though I usually call it the analog).

Joystick: generic joystick (e.g. could be anything, including a controller on heavy machinery).
Arcade joystick: specific game controller designed to look like it was ripped from an arcade_cabinet.

So I guess if we're going with those definitions, then arcade_stick should implicate both game_controller and joystick?
