??? We do that already: C-wheel-up increases the font size.  It
shouldn't be hard to imagine similar bindings on the fringe, for
example.

Yes.

First, you don't need to do anything for vertical-scroll-bar, as the
mouse wheel is already handled there, at least on my system.

On a horizontal scroll-bar, if I use this:

  (global-set-key [horizontal-scroll-bar wheel-up] 'foo-mouse-message)

I get the expected result on my system.

What do you see Emacs say if you turn the wheel on the horizontal
scroll-bar in "emacs -Q"?
