Absolutely. I have a mouse whose wheel can be clicky or continuous
(though I have no indication this matters much). Inevitably, cliky and
continuous scroll are going to coexist in HW as well as the X protocol,
so there should be corresponding logic for both cases, with apps free to
choose.

AFAIK Valuators are ints; 100 sounds sensible to me. As said, an input
device property might be fine for this.
