[PD-dev] how to name a mouse pointer coords object

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

So I am writing an object that outputs the coordinates and related  
button pressed from the OS' mouse cursor.  I am currently looking for a  
name.  I don't want to name it "mouse" anything since the pointer can  
be controlled by a tablet, joystick, trackpad, etc. etc.  So I am  
thinking of a good name.  Here are some I thought of:

[systempointer]
[systemcursor]
[cursor]

I am thinking that [cursor] might be the best bet since its short and  
describes where the data is coming from.  But there might be minor  
confusion between the cursor in a piece of text, and the cursor that is  
generally represented by an arrow and controlled by a mouse.

Any comments, suggestions, etc.?
