The "power of pointing" is a wonderful UI gesture.  It's so energy
efficient for the user.  A simple nudge of the mouse can spawn a lot
of output and, then, simply moving away (one more nudge) reclaims all
the screen space.  Sometimes I like to pop up even /interactive/
panels my Maui apps by merely pointing.

What is remarkable to me is how underrated it is.  I guess Windows'
click-for-focus pretty much blew it out of the water..
