My previous hack at strokes.el obviously didn't produce something
usable. The original overloading of mouse-2 just loses and presumably
no-one uses it. The following seems better and potentially useful for
input of technical characters, for instance. I suspect the doc and
commentary needs more review than I've given it.

2002-04-28 Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
Make strokes a proper minor mode, and don't try to overload
mouse-2, which doesn't work satisfactorily. Use S-mouse-2 instead.
* strokes.elL Doc fixes.
(strokes-mode): Defcustom deleted; replaced by minor mode def with
re-written function.
(strokes-while-inhibiting-garbage-collector): Comment out.
(define-stroke, strokes-fix-button2-command, strokes-insinuated)
(strokes-insinuate, global-set-stroke, describe-stroke)
(load-user-strokes, save-strokes, strokes-bug-address)
(strokes-click-command): Deleted.
(strokes-execute-stroke): Remove strokes-click-p case.
(strokes-describe-stroke): Remove strokes-click-p stuff.
(strokes-help): Fix.
(strokes-report-bug): Alias to report-emacs-bug.
(strokes-prompt-user-save-strokes): Modify format of the file.
(strokes-mode-map, strokes-unload-hook): New.
(strokes-buffer-name): Don't customize.

-;;; Advice for various functions...
-
-;; I'd originally wanted to write a macro that would just take in the
-;; generic functions which use mouse button2 in various modes. Most of
-;; them are identical in form: they take an event as the single argument
-;; and then do their thing. I tried writing a macro that looked
-;; something like this, but failed. Advice just ain't that easy. The
-;; one that bugged me the most was `Manual-follow-xref', because that had
-;; &rest arguments, and I didn't know how to work around it in defadvice.
-;; However, I was able to fix up most of the important modes (i.e. the
-;; ones I use all the time). One `bug' in the program that I just can't
-;; seem to figure out is why I can only advise other button2 functions
-;; successfully when the variable `strokes-use-strokes-buffer' is nil. I
-;; did all the save-excursion/save-window-excursion stuff SPECIFICALLY so
-;; that using the strokes buffer or not would absolutely not affect any
-;; other part of the program. If someone can figure out how to make the
-;; following advices work w/ regardless of that variable
-;; `strokes-use-strokes-buffer', then that would be a great victory. If
-;; someone out there would be kind enough to make the commented code
-;; below work, I'd be grateful. By the way, I put the `protect' keywords
-;; there to insure that if a stroke went bad, then
-;; `strokes-click-command' would be set back. If this isn't necessary,
-;; then feel free to let me know.
-
-;; For what follows, I really wanted something that would work like this:
-
-;;(strokes-fix-button2 'vm-mouse-button-2)
-
-;; Or even better, I could have simply done something like:
-
-;;(mapcar 'strokes-fix-button2
