currentTarget not available in event object when trigger touch event on a parents child element

[ShawnKuan]

Hi,
I'm trying to bind a tap/pan event on a parent element with children elements.
When I tap/pan a child element the event object only shows a 'target' but no 'currentTarget'.
I can not find the currentTarget (parent element) in the event object.
Is there a way to get it or is this a bug?

I also created 2 examples about that, the hammer v.1 works fine, but v.2 not.

check these out below, click the green area can not get the parent target if I use v.2:
v.1 http://codepen.io/ShawnKuan/pen/Aeocy
v.2 http://codepen.io/ShawnKuan/pen/paAHK

I have a constant need of getting the element that my hammer instance was created from, not necessarily the child within.

It would be good to have the element returned in the event object alongside the target (which is sometimes a child of the element).

There is a srcEvent you can use, but the events and use and nature of these events does need improved.
