Some mice have two wheels (horizontal and vertical), others have
lots_of_buttons.

I'd really love for mice to use abstract events like keyboards
(wheel_up, wheel_down, wheel_left, wheel_right, click_button, etc) with
a mapping database (of every model on the market, like the keyboard
model db). Trying to understand why a particular application uses button
n for some action when you don't have the same mouse model as the app
writer is getting tiring.
