Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to be able to use the Adafruit mini ir remote in makecode as the infrared module seems to only support communication by ir coming from another circuit playground.
The buttons of the remote could all be used in the block and could use them to trigger different things.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I considered using circuit python but I really like the rainbow animation from make code as well as the multi threading (having a rainbow animation yet still support inputs like loud noise or shaking) and being able to use it with my kids.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be great if we could have the equivalent of the circuit python script of this mapping of the remote: [https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides/blob/master/Remote_Tree_Ornament/main.py]

Thank you for your consideration make code for the circuit playground is awesome !! Keep up the good work :)
