In Emacs 22 (and 21, 20...), using the mouse wheel did not add any modifiers to the event that was read. In Emacs 23, `event-modifiers' for a `mouse-wheel-down-event' or `mouse-wheel-up-event' returns `(click)'. Why? Is this a bug or a feature or just an inescapable implementation limitation? This behavior doesn't seem right. Using the mouse wheel (without pressing it to realize a click) is not the same as clicking a mouse button. (I'm using Windows, so the `event-basic-type' for a wheel rotation is `wheel-up' or `wheel-down'.)
