Regardless of which mice support these events, they (the events) are
touch events, not mouse events. So I think we should name them as
such, because someone in the future might add support for the full
spectrum of touch events to Emacs.
So wheel-release doesn't strike me as a good name. What kind of touch
event (or series of events) that emulates?
