mouse wheel zoom alternate behaviour suggestion

The current behaviour (build 2012-01-19 BZR 3256) is that the zoom will be targeted towards where the cursor is, and the cursor is then centered on screen. I do not like this behaviour because it moves my cursor, which has negative implications regarding usability due to human factors such as muscle memory and such. I suggest that the zoom is targeted towards where the cursor is, but do not move the cursor. The advantages of this behaviour is that it allows the mouse wheel to become a method of panning, as well as zooming. Plus this will feel better as it is more similar to the zooming behaviour of other CAD tools.
