I doubt if anyone can discover pin to exit gesture on their own. meaning
its not exactly intuitive.
But the again, if i may recall the design paradigm for Touch actually
does not envisage this problem as a general thing (i'm pretty sure i'm
wrong though)
meaning that this really should be an issue to be solved by each app.
(probably with defined guidelines)
Its not right to assume that each and every app will be compatible with
whatever solution proposed here.
The base OS itself does not appear to require any going back (at lease
from the gestures and flow design).

benefit from having a faster and perhaps more elegant way to go back.
It's quick and does not require any finger acrobatics, and does not
interfere with any existing gesture.
Sincerely,

Just an observation about the design, but it seems the design is to
avoid needing the back button most of the time. I don't find myself
using the back button very often because of this. For example, the
people lens expands the view when you select a contact, and has a
button
to collapse it again. Another example, in the phone app the header is
used to switch between different pages (phone, contacts and messages).
The design seems to be avoiding using a back button on the most
frequent
scenarios. I'd recommend trying out the phone first, and then see how
often you actually use the back button.
Also, I feel that the short swipe and tap to go back is easier and
faster than just about all the gesture suggestions so far.
