How are double clicks handled?

I searched the documentation and found nothing about double clicks. I think there should either be some state for this in the mouse input event or at least a function to get the double click time from the system.

Keep in mind that triple clicks and so on also need to be supported. Triple click typically selects a paragraph in a text view.

@portstrom this is currently left up for the application to solve. In Alacritty, we record a timestamp whenever a click is received, and using a configurable timeout, watch for double and triple clicks.

It's a shame not to be able to access the system-wide double click time configuration. There should be some API for this. I would be happy even to have an API that uses a hardcoded number as long as the implementation can be changed in a future version to use the system-wide setting.

Should be able to read system setting i think but would that be in the winit scope?
