Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We would like the ability to run over the list of registered subsystems to check for annotations and any implementations.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a CommandScheduler.getAllSubsystems() method.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Hacking in with reflection.

Additional context
I'm willing to take this one on after CMP.

Sounds good.
One point for question: should the returned collection be read-only, a capture, or fully backed and writeable?

One point for question: should the returned collection be read-only, a capture, or fully backed and writeable?

Good question, I would have just put a getter for the existing collection in there, which would have made for some interesting bugs when teams started tweaking the returned collection.

For the purposes I envision, a read-only would be great. A writable capture would be confusing, and fully backed would be problematic (how to detect and properly respond to changes to the collection?)

For performance reasons, I wonder if a read-only copy should be kept and maintained by the scheduler as subsystems are added. I would worry about someone putting a for (var subsystem : CommandScheduler.getAllSubsystems()) in a periodic. Is that a legit concern?

If ImmutableSet(m_subsystems.keySet()) still reads from the backing set (rather than a one-time copy), that can be a simple solution.
EDIT: Collections.unmodifiableSet looks like exactly what we need.

C++ would also be interesting, I'm not versed enough with C++ STL/LLVM collections to know how this can be done properly.
EDIT: C++20 has https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/ranges/keys_view, that might do what we need if it's compatible with llvm::DenseMap

Is WPILib using C++ 20 yet? If not would we want to upgrade?

Still needs C++, most likely to be done with
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/ranges/keys_view depending on
compatibility with `llvm::DenseMap` and C++ 20 support.

WPILib enables C++20, but ranges support isn't complete on all compilers. You can use whatever passes CI.
