+      The wl_touch interface represents a touchscreen
+      associated with a seat.
+
+      Touch interactions can consist of one or more contacts.
+      For each contact, a series of events is generated, starting
+      with a down event, followed by one or more motion events,
+      and ended with an up event. Events relating to the same
+      contact point can be identified by the ID of the sequence.
