Hi Shawn,

Why are these types called “handlers”? Because we use term “event handler” for those methods that you override in C++? IMHO “handler” type names belong to the same category with “utils” and “helpers”, type names that you give to internal helper classes when you don’t bother coming up with better names. You have implemented a gesture framework with support for taps, pinches, drags, and swipes, so why not call these types “gestures”?
