Support Pointer events specification

See original GitHub issue

What is your approach to IE10 touch events?

Hammer.js checks window.navigator.pointerEnabled || window.navigator.msPointerEnabled and then switches touchstart, touchmove, touchend touchcancel to pointerdown MSPointerDown, pointermove MSPointerMove, pointerup pointercancel MSPointerUp MSPointerCancel.

so React still doesn’t support

<div onPointerDown={console.log}>foo</div>

the authors don’t want it or they are open to a PR?

I wrote a component that allows declarative pointer event binding, and has been working for me as an easy substitute until React officially supports them.

Update: <Pointable /> now lives in its own repo and is on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-pointable

While it’s great Chrome and FF are shipping pointer events, Safari is my biggest worry. To that end, this component plays well with the official pointer events polyfill project for wide support.
