Hand cursor on buttons

[rstacruz]

Would you consider this change?

button, input[type="button"], input[type="submit"] {
  cursor: pointer;
}

@nicolasparada, care to chime in on why not?

Conceptually, I like the "hand cursor is only for non-obvious elements" mantra. And it is consistent with what operating systems do, which makes it easier to use sanitize.css as-is in a desktop app (e.g. via Electron).

That said, look at GitHub, it is using the hand cursor for everything and I like it a lot in practice.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Going with @nicolasparada’s advice.
