If we do address this, one thing I would like to suggest is that we
don't have more than one way to bring up the same menus..
I can't intercept Control+Click to do single-selection toggling in a
list because Control+Click is redundant with middle-click to bring up
the halos. If I could intercept it, then we could get replace
PluggableListMorphOfMany with AlternatePluggableListMorphOfMany.
So I wish we would not consume all of the possible gestures, we should
leave some open for applications to have. But I understand we have to
contend with the Mac, with its single-button mouse.. :(
