Has anyone written the necessary elisp to make epoch mouse selection
more like that on the Macintosh?

I want things like double-click on word, triple-click to get the
sentence, with the selection extending at the current selection unit.
Use the selected text as a large insertion point, so one can select
something, and then type the replacement text. Etc.

This would really help new users who move to Unix/X with prior
mouse-editing experience in the Mac/Windows worlds.

Please email, and I will summarize if there is demand.

thanks
