These commands seem to imply that p&c can be turned on and off
throughout the input stream (i.e. that isolated sections within a work
would have p&c enabled). Is this the case, and is it desired? 

The commands also don't acknowledge that p&c is on by default -- one
would have to put \pointAndClickOff first, which is counterintuitive. I
doubt that many people work like this anyway; they either want to use
it, or don't.

Personally, I always compile with p&c, except for final output, for
which the command-line method is the simplest method to temporarily
disable it.
