Remarks
Every time there are two or more fingers touching the screen, it is considered a pinch gesture. The platform will return the best two contact points that represent the pinch gesture and return them as primary and secondary contact points. The very first set of primary/secondary contact points of a pinch gesture is considered the original set. While the pinch gesture is occurring, if all other fingers are raised and only one finger is still touching the screen, it is no longer considered a pinch gesture, but it now transforms to become a drag (or a flick). If any other finger touches the screen again, it triggers a new pinch gesture with a new set of original contact points. All of this can be considered part of one single manipulation (between one ManipulationStarted and ManipulationCompleted event) until all the fingers are raised.
