+   * a scroll up or to the left (where the content moves down or right) is
+   * represented as negative values.
+   *
+   * The units are either in pixels (when scroll_by_page is false) or pages
+   * (when scroll_by_page is true). For example, delta_y = -3 means scroll up 3
+   * pixels when scroll_by_page is false, and scroll up 3 pages when
+   * scroll_by_page is true.

+   * This amount is system dependent and will take into account the user's
+   * preferred scroll sensitivity and potentially also nonlinear acceleration
+   * based on the speed of the scrolling.
+   *
+   * Devices will be of varying resolution. Some mice with large detents will
+   * only generate integer scroll amounts. But fractional values are also
+   * possible, for example, on some trackpads and newer mice that don't have

This would be ideal, but it's inaccurate.  On Mac (the only platform that
currently accelerates AFAIK), these values are actually accelerated, not
unaccelerated.

+   *
+   * If you are scrolling, you probably want to use the delta values above.
+   * These tick events can be useful if you aren't doing actual scrolling and
+   * don't want acceleration or pixel values. An example may be cycling
+   * between different items in a game.
+   *
+   * You may receive fractional values for the wheel ticks if the mouse wheel
+   * is high resolution or doesn't have "clicks". If your program wants
+   * discrete events (as in the "picking items" example) you should accumulate
+   * fractional click values from multiple messages until the total value
+   * reaches positive or negative one. This should represent a similar amount
+   * of scrolling as for a mouse that has a discrete mouse wheel.
