I wouldn't recommend this exact code: Since pointerId can be an 
arbitrary integer, looping through this array could take a very long 
time (for example if the UA decided to use pointerIds starting at 
1,000,000).  And getting the number of pointers is *not* as simple as 
pointerList.length.

However, if you replace the Array with an ES6 Map object, then the basic 
approach should work fine.
