Given that I use my mouse alternately with both hands, I can easily imagine
having two distinguisable pointers that do different things.  In an editor,
one could select text, while the other selects buttons and menu operations.
In a game, one could move and attack chars while other operates peripheral
functions.  Not having to move the personnel pointer (and maybe lose
current selection) to open a building or log book could be quite nice.
