Description (last modified by Zach Pearson)

The MouseMode base class has a uses_wheel property that looks like it's supposed to let arbitrary mouse modes override whatever is assigned to the wheel (I could be wrong about this assumption), but its value doesn't look like it's checked anywhere.

This could be a pretty useful idea if done right and a user wants to hijack the wheel when a modifier key is pressed.

pseudocode

if modifier:
    ...
else:
    session.mouse_modes.wheel(event)
