We already have most... and we need to have most on Wayland. If we don't
capture the mouse cursor, no application will have access to it.

KWin has a magnifier effect. That can be utilized. Though personally I am not a
fan of such magnifier as it's zooming pixel data.

I don't want any UI in KWin. The idea was to provide the functionality to
capture a screenshot, not to be a screenshot tool. Also to make it possible to
have simple and complex screenshot tools.

If UI gets duplicated, maybe spectacle could provide a library.
