That is correct. I should have added small tests to show that it should
work that way. I will add it next time around.

Oops I didn't check that one. More reasons for some tests.

Tests and msdn indicate that return values are identical for all
devices.

Because there are few other things that's being checked before joystick
can be acquired. Mouse and keyboard just acquire the device without any
additional checking.

There are lots of other inconsistencies all over dinput. This is one of
the reasons I'm trying to unify all the common code in one place.
