I think "mouse-1" "mouse-2" "mouse-3" is enough of a hint to get
people going. At least those kind of people that would stand a chance
to ever get along with Emacs. I can't imagine someone plugging three
mice into his computer in order to delete a window (ok, more likely he
will try a triple-click, in particular if he is using a Mac). I think
we should just take the chance. If we get a bug report, we can still
think about acting on it.
XEmacs calls the respective events [button1] [button2] [button3]. It
may be argued that this would be more understandable to beginners.
Personally, I don't think that the difference in understandability
warrants a change in the event definition, and I think that the event
symbol is not so cryptic as to make it a good idea to use anything but
the event symbol in the help text.
