That would make it hard to toggle the feature on/off on a per-buffer
basis, which was my intention behind using a minor mode.  I don't have
strong opinions here so if you think otherwise, I will use a global
minor mode instead.  If we go the global route, shall I make it so that
activating it would enable mouse support for both org-mode and
org-agenda-mode?
