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,
