Re: [pointerevents] Pen Button Events (#290)

the confusion probably due to the fact that the surface stylus' eraser has, effectively, dual functionality. when you gently touch it to the screen, it registers as a pointer with button value `2`. but when you hold the stylus in the air and just gently touch the eraser, it doesn't register (believe this is hardware-based limitation). however, that same eraser when pressed hard with the thumb actually has a proper "switch/click" to it that some native apps can detect (e.g. to fire up OneNote). this is separate/different from the eraser functionality. and i would class it more as an extra button/shortcut key than anything else. not something directly related to the pointer itself.
