let the pointer's pointerdown event propagate
Controlling this event is necessary because (internally) we only want to process it once, even when it's tied to several marks. This typically happens on the crosshair mark which uses the same shared pointer transform on its submarks, where not controlling this would result in an even number of flag toggling — when we just want one.
However for some applications the upstream app also wants to see that event.
In this PR, instead of preventing propagation, we ignore internal duplicate handling.

Thanks @Fil! Would love to see this reviewed and released. We would make use of this immediately.
Is there anything specific holding this back?
lack of time. We'll get to it eventually. thanks!
