    > After all, we have the same problem with recognizing double-clicks.

    Sure.  But users have wanted double-clicks, so we gave it to them.
    Users's aren't asking for variable-duration clicks.

This may be the best way to give various different users the different
things they want, more or less.  It is impossible to satisfy all the
constraints here.
