I understand that, but if the person's not a programmer, there's little
harm to using transparent buttons (especially if we're talking about 0-9
plus a couple of phone feature buttons).

This individual is perhaps familiar with such things, but I guarantee you
that if you take somebody who just wants to pull together some quickie
simulation or app and who doesn't want to sit down and learn about setting
'ink = noop' and figuring out coords, buttons are probably the easiest
conceptually to use (especially inasmuch as in this case they are mimicing
actual buttons).
