Does LC Have A touchLoc() Function?

Does anyone know if LiveCode has touch-based function equivalent of
mouseLoc?  I'm thinking along the lines of touchLoc(id).  I'm not seeing
anything in dictionaries or release notes, but it's possible I'm missing
it.

Currently, there doesn't seem to be any way to poll the current active
touches, which is something that has always been possible on desktop with
the mouseLoc function.  Using touchMove is not an option, because this
only fires when there's movement of some kind.

I'd like to open a feature request for a touchLoc(id) function that would
return the loc of a touch id, and a touchLocs() function which would
return all currently active touch ids and their locations.  Unless this
already exists, or there's some other way of getting this information and
I'm just not seeing it.

Thanks & Regards,
