Some goals that have hopefully been achieved are:
- make QPointerEvent and QEventPoint resemble their Qt Quick
counterparts to such an extent that we can remove those wrappers
and go back to delivering the original events in Qt Quick
- make QEventPoint much smaller than QTouchEvent::TouchPoint, with no pimpl
- remove most public setters
- reduce the usage of complex constructors that take many arguments
- don't repeat ourselves: move accessors and storage upwards
rather than having redundant ones in subclasses
- standardize the set of accessors in QPointerEvent
- maintain source compatibility as much as possible: do not require
modifying event-handling code in any QWidget subclass
To avoid public setters we now introduce a few QMutable* subclasses.
This is a bit like the Builder pattern except that it doesn't involve
constructing a separate disposable object: the main event type can be
cast to the mutable type at any time to enable modifications, iff the
code is linked with gui-private. Therefore event classes can have
less-"complete" constructors, because internal Qt code can use setters
the same way it could use the ones in QTouchEvent before; and the event
classes don't need many friends. Even some read-accessors can be kept
private unless we are sure we want to expose them.
