I like the new pixel-scroll-precision-mode very much! - but there is a
problem with it:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(define-minor-mode pixel-scroll-precision-mode
  "Toggle pixel scrolling.
When enabled, this minor mode allows to scroll the display
precisely, according to the turning of the mouse wheel."
  :global t
  :group 'mouse
  :keymap pixel-scroll-precision-mode-map
  ...)
#+end_src

This overwrites the mwheel bindings in any buffer with pixel-scroll
functions, and since it's a minor-mode, it wins over major-mode
bindings.

For example, osm.el (in Gnu Elpa) uses the mouse wheel to zoom the map.
Since `pixel-scroll-precision-mode' is a global minor mode, it is not
even trivial to work around this problem in one's config.

TIA,

Michael.
