[OpenLayers-Dev] Make short taps/clicks distinguishable from taphold/clickhold events in Handler.Click

[Marc Jansen]

Hi all,

we have currently the need to determine whether a captured click/tap on 
an OpenLayers.Map was a short click/tap or was intended to be a "hold" 
click/tap (One that lasted at the same location for a certain amount of 
time).

I have working code in a sandbox [1] that shows what is intented 
behaviour and also has a first rough implementation. My changes are the 
following three changesets: [2], [3] & [4]. Here is an online example: [5]

How would you address this feature request? The code in the sandbox has 
no new/adjusted tests yet.

I would love to hear whether this may be of need to the library as such, 
in that case I would spend more time on finishing this task to create a 
reviewable patch (e.g. tests, more documentation).

Best regards,
Marc
