The documentation for `event-modifiers' states:
"If EVENT is a symbol that has never been used in an event that has been
read as input in the current Emacs session, then this function can
return nil, even when EVENT actually has modifiers." However, looking in
the `event-modifier' definition, the function
`internal-event-symbol-parse-modifiers' seems to deal with this
(potential) issue. Can someone give me an example where `event-modifier'
would inappropriately return nil?
Thanks,
Jonathan

If you ever manage to get a mouse-10 event, it should (and will) be
labeled as a click. I've slightly changed the docstring to reflect the
fact that only `click' may be missing (and that this can not only
result in a nil result, e.g. C-mouse-10 will only say (control) instead
of (control click)).
