   5.  Mouse maps

	   Epoch-4.0 mouse support is based on Ken Laprade's mouse
   package, so there is support for detecting mouse presses, etc. on
   window modelines, etc.

One thing that I've seen in a lot of mouse map handling code is of the
form:  

   if <on a button of my making>
   then left does <...>
   else it does whatever it did before

Perhaps an approach based on a mouse-map search path rather than just local
and global maps is in order.  For this to work, each binding would have to
have an associated "applicable-p" predicate for the situation in question
(e.g. on a button with a particular property).  If there is sufficient
interest, I can hack up a more detailed spec of what I mean.  I suspect an
implementation which is basically compatible with existing practice can be
had.
