floating point rectangle functions,

I thought SDL_FRect and SDL_RenderCopyF were a thing since 2.0.1x?

Hmm, I often find myself coupling it with glm (in particular vec4).

So val.z is width and of course annoyingly val.w is height

> new APIs sought after by developers for returning the renderer associated with a window

You... what?

Someone's gonna have to explain that one to me. If you don't know what renderer your window's using, you've got a problem; and if it's not your window, it's not your business.

Short of some kind of hack for third-party code I can't think of any good reason for this, and even then I'd expect the library/whatever to either implicitly match because it was built to be used in that project in the first place; or to be told at the time you init it / give it a window handle.

Overlays, maybe? Whatever the cause, this looks bizarre enough to be interesting somehow.

They were, but this adds the previously missing SDL_FRect calls corresponding to the rest of the SDL_Rect API (intersections, union, point-in-rect, equailty/empty checks, etc) which makes it easier to switch everything to FRect.
