title: Identifying the Type of Touch Gestures from UIEvent Object
body: <p>Is there a way to gain the type of touch gestures that triggered a UIEvent? So, let's say I intercept a gesture with hitTest:withEvent:. How do I identify what kind of touch (pinch, tap, swipe, etc.) happened that triggered this method?</p>
  
  <p>I can gain the type of remote events from the UIEvent subtype, and even if the device was shaken, but there is no parameter for touch events...</p>
  
  <p>How do you identify those?</p>
