Aha! I knew I remembered seeing something about it. I've updated my rc
to use a function instead, and it works fine now. Thanks!

I might take a stab at a conversion script tomorrow, if I have time.
I'll have to figure out which functions had a behavioral change,
though. If I can figure those out, the behavior only changed for mouse
bindings, correct?

Thanks again,
