Distinguishing between direct touch and Pencil touch on the iPad

When looking at each touch in the touches event, there are two types: touchType == "direct" and touchType == "stylus". This distinguishes between the two. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34986373/javascript-touch-event-distinguishing-finger-vs-apple-pencil

Note that when I am emulating an iPad on the Chrome Developer Tools, and I am generating touch events with the mouse, touchType is not attached. I hope to eventually be able to emulate touchType == "stylus".

In the future, this may be compiled in Pointer Events, but at this time, it seems that the browser implementation has not progressed. Pointer Events
