	// Evalutes a normalized analog input signal (such as an analog
	// axis) and filters it:
	//
	// If signal is below the deadband in absolute magnitude:
	//	- set signal to zero
	//	- return false, no input present in signal
	//
	// If signal is at or above the deadband in absolute magnitude:
	//	- re-zero-scale the signal from 0 to 1 (preserving sign!)
	//	- return true, yes we have input
	//
	// The purpose is to allow deadbands without a discontinuity
	// (eg, no sudden snap from 0.0 to deadband minimum)
	//
	// Expected signal input domain is [-1 .. +1]. You are responsible for this.
	// Expected deadband input is zero or positive, but always less than +1
