Mouse-wheel scroll events are just events from the mouse like any
other, so it certainly makes sense to call them "mouse-4" and
"mouse-5" (the mouse itself doesn't use names, so it's up to
higher-layers to know what a particular event means, and give them
more meaningful names).  If you have more mouse buttons they are
likely called mouse-6, mouse-7, ...
