That's what the attached patch does. So the above is now MOUSE[0].

Yeah, that's more extensible and more work - likely I'd have to revamp 
parsing. This change doesn't block that path, so this can be done when 
ambiguous cases show up.

What should be checked, is that this notation doesn't collide with 
whatever HAL or evdev do to disambiguate names (if they do at all). I 
don't have 2 equal mice, do you? (Does anyone?)

Cheers,
