 Replying to [comment:5 azaozz]:
 > Looking at [18707]: not sure where wp-pointer.js comes from and why it's
 not in wp-includes/js/jquery together withe the other UI pieces or in wp-
 admin/js if it's ours. Also why `wp_pointer_enqueue()` has the
 `$hook_suffix` arg?

 wp_pointer_enqueue() is attached to admin_enqueue_scripts, which passes us
 a $hook_suffix. While constructing the API I left that in, as future
 pointers may have page-targeted pointers.

 wp-pointer, as indicated by the suffix, is hours. wp-includes/js/jquery
 should probably be reserved for external scripts. wp-includes/js was
 chosen because there's nothing stopping this from being used on the
 frontend, either in a walkthrough or by a plugin.
