Good to know, when I reported the issue:
http://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/782835/
I got a negative answer: that I can use `hasFeature` (which is broken by
design).

Too bad you don't plan to make it for IE11, in my `wheel` jQuery plugin I'm
first checking for `onwheel` and when missing, I'm doing an ugly UA-sniff by
checking `navigator.appName`. The code will now break in IE11 since it changed
the `appName` value without matching behavior of other browsers with respect to
`onwheel`.
