Yeah, I agree -- and having a translucent left pointer is my current
compromise :-). But, I'm not sure the whole world will agree, so the
question remains that if applications do use reversed pointers, we need to
decide if those should be part of the standard set, and if so, what the
semantic name and description of them should be.
