>     The 'wheel-up/down/left/right' events are now bound unconditionally,
>     and the 'mouse-wheel-up/down/left/right-event' variables are thus used
>     only to specify the 'mouse-4/5/6/7' events that might still
>     happen to be generated by some old packages (or if 'mouse-wheel-buttons'
>     has been set to nil).
> 
> Would it be happier somewhere else?  Mouse wheel support is a very basic
> editor feature, so it doesn't seem to belong under "specialized" modes

> 
> However, I'm not sure to what extent this is a user-facing feature.
> Perhaps it should be under Lisp Changes?
