I can't think of any use cases where you'd want to be able to tell 
appart the first double-click (corresponding to clickEvent.detail == 2) 
and a second (corresponding to clickEvent.detail == 4).

However, it seems easy enough to say that the detail should be the same 
as for the click event. This doesn't seem like a very harsh requirement 
on implementations since the information is already available. So why not?
