Interface: Changing Values with MouseWheel

i have admittedly not adjusted values with the mouse that much in the past, but when i recently did it a lot, i was wondering wether comfort might be improved by being able to 'scroll' the values with the mousewheel. in addition, the Alt/Shift/Ctrl key might be used to choose the step size, e.g. so that the change was [ MouseWheel * pow(( Alt ? 10 : 0.1 ), ( Shift + Ctrl )) ] where MouseWheel is either 1 or -1.
the Alt/Shift/Ctrl - mechanism might already be useful when adjusting values with the slider.

what's your oppinion on that? how do you usually set properties? do you think it would be a handy addition or just clutter?

Sounds good! I have wanted a button for slowing down the slider *0.1 *0.01 or some such,. for finner control. A key modifier is great idea.
