For the iPhone VM I created a complex event type which passes up a smalltalk object.
In this case a translation of the iPhone touch events to a smalltalk object. I could have
passed up a bytearray and let EventSensor deal with it.
Maybe we need a raw mode where data is passed up in a bytearray then EventSensor is
reponsible for assembling the data into a meaningful pattern.
