emacs -Q

C-h f mwheel-scroll provides contradictory information - on MS Windows,
at least:

  It is bound to S-wheel-down, wheel-down, S-wheel-up, wheel-up.

  (mwheel-scroll EVENT)

  Scroll up or down according to the EVENT.
  This should only be bound to mouse buttons 4 and 5.

According to this, Emacs -Q is doing something it "should" not do:
binding the command to `S-wheel-down', `wheel-down', `S-wheel-up', and
`wheel-up'.

Please remove the platform-specific sentence that says that this should
only be bound to `mouse-4' and `mouse-5'.

(That text was anyway worded poorly - it should have said "This should
be bound only to `mouse-4' and `mouse-5'.")
