It still has to ignore the other events that are being overriden by the
gestural start.

Well, only those that need it - I dont see theres any complication there.
If the host doesnt need gesture clues it can just ignore them, though that
implies that is has no alternaive data stream - if there is then is has to
be culled somewhere, and I'd rather every plugin didnt have to handle it.
