Comment(by Eben):

 If we do add this, I recommend adding it as an option specifically in the
 Touchpad module of the CP; I don't think it needs to cause any global
 changes to the UI itself.

 That said, I'm curious both about how standard this is (OSX doesn't offer
 this by default, for instance, but third party mouse drivers sometimes
 do), and also if it's a good idea in light of the physical markings ('x',
 'o') on the buttons.  If documentation (or a teacher) says "click the
 mouse button with the 'x' on it", it could confuse the left-handed users.
 Thoughts?

 I think discussion is warranted before we can appropriately add this to
 the roadmap.
