Re: [pointerevents] Implement penover / pendown / penmove / penup events and similar for other new pointer types. (#359)

> yeah i'll admit that to me this would feel like a step back, philosophically - as we're trying to get devs to think in more device/input agnostic ways first and foremost. and if they _want_ to handle events differently,

Just to respond directly to this point. I don't think this is a step back as we would still require that all new events are also pointer events and so in most cases (and recommended practice) devs would handle them using the pointer* event handlers. It would only be in special cases where they wanted to handle a certain type differently that they may choose to add a specific type handler.
