+/**
+ * mouse_event_shim.js: generate mouse events from touch events.
+ *
+ * This library listens for touch events and generates mousedown, mousemove
+ * mouseup, and click events to match them. It captures and dicards any
+ * real mouse events (non-synthetic events with isTrusted true) that are
+ * send by gecko so that there are not duplicates.
+ *
+ * This library does emit mouseover/mouseout and mouseenter/mouseleave
+ * events. You can turn them off by setting MouseEventShim.trackMouseMoves to
+ * false. This means that mousemove events will always have the same target
+ * as the mousedown even that began the series. You can also call
+ * MouseEventShim.setCapture() from a mousedown event handler to prevent
+ * mouse tracking until the next mouseup event.
+ *
+ * This library does not support multi-touch but should be sufficient
+ * to do drags based on mousedown/mousemove/mouseup events.
+ *
+ * This library does not emit dblclick events or contextmenu events
+ */
