I've nothing against preventing users from polling the mouse and 
other bad habits, but I'm wondering if deprecating the mouseLoc, 
mouseH, and mouseV functions leaves behind ways to cover all needs.

mouseMove lets us get the mouse coordinates from the arguments. The 
clickLoc function gives the coordinates of where the mouse went down 
(I think), but how do we get the coordinates of where the mouse is 
released?

I've never needed this myself, but I imagine there are legitimate uses for it.

What would be nice is having the mouse coordinates passed as 
additional arguments to mouseDown, mouseUp and mouseRelease.
