Sorry for confusing wording: it _is_ about scrolling.
double-wheel-down means turning the wheel more than one click down.

What holds me back is that no other area of the display reacts to
mouse-wheel as the text area.  E.g., turning the wheel on the fringes
or on the scroll bar produces the same "undefined" message as for
margins.

I'm guessing that the OP wanted to have the display scrolled no matter
where on display the user turns the mouse wheel, but evidently that's
not how things are defined by default.  If we decide to change that,
it IMO makes little sense to do that only for the margins, but not for
the fringes or the scroll bar.
