Exposing high-frequency mouse/touch movement?

Platforms typically coalesce movement events, eg. possibly limiting them to
reporting at most 1 per video frame.  Some applications want additional
data, for example high-precision drawing and some games.  Windows 8 has a
GetPointerTouchInfoHistory
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh454891(v=vs.85).aspx>
API
[1] for this (why is this just touch and not all pointers?), and Android
has methods on MotionEvent
<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/MotionEvent.html> [2]
for getting historical data out of the event batch.

Should we be exposing something similar to the web?

Other platforms take the approach of having an API to disable
coalescing/batching - eg. setMouseCoalescingEnabled
<https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSEvent_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/NSEvent/setMouseCoalescingEnabled:>
[3]
on Mac OS X.  One big disadvantage I see to this approach is that it treats
all event consumers the same.  For a particular event, there may be one
consumer that wants high-resolution data (and can process it efficiently)
while other consumers may get backlogged by an unusually high event
reporting rate.

Thanks,
