RE: "EXAMPLE 4: Firing an untrusted pointer event from script" not working?

I had the same question and Jacob confirmed that it's an IE11 issue. See https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/pull/1074#issuecomment-48989307.

Subject: "EXAMPLE 4: Firing an untrusted pointer event from script" not working?

Maybe a naive question that shows my lack of JS chops, but: I've been
trying to actually generate pointer events programmatically using code
based on example 4
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/pointerevents/raw-file/tip/pointerEvents.html#examples
but in IE11, all I get when trying

var event = new PointerEvent(...);

is an "Object doesn't support this action" error.

Is the problem with the example code, or is it a bug/incomplete
implementation in IE11?

Apologies if the answer is obvious...
