There may be two features that we want:

    1. constraining a mouse cursor inside a window

    2. providing infinite mickeys (e.g. for 3d shooters)

I think you can't have (2) without (1), but (1) might be useful without
(2).  (1) can be implemented by users given (2), if they draw their own
cursors.
