ho ho, not so fast. the primary function of a scroll wheel is
to scroll. do not forget that 2-dimensional scrolling thingies,
like trackballs (as also seen on mice) are part of the same
family and principle.
if people like you find it smashing to zoom with the scroll-wheel,
then we should make that an easy preference, but not by default.
