Does LC Have A touchLoc() Function?

[John Craig]

The last time I checked, a touchMove was always fired after a touchStart 
(so you can reliably pick up the initial position). TouchMove events can 
then track each individual touch id.  I think mouseLoc always reported 
the position of the first touch.
