The interface should be a wrapper for the existing interface,
one that takes a mouse interface and returns a cooked mouse
interface.  If possible, it shouldn't even depend on the existence
of mouse files and so on, but just on the channels that talk to
the mouse.   Concurrency is really about interfaces. Here you're
chaning the interface to a concurrent component by hacking the
interface. That's missing the point.

In other words, I agree with Rog's objections but have a purer
notion of how to approach the problem.
