New Anaconda and Mouse Buttons

I haven't had a chance yet to try the new F18 installer and barely have
had a chance to play with my F17->F18 upgrade box. However, I'm most
curious if the new installer has considered or already gained what I'd
consider a subtle improvement in becoming mouse button agnostic. I'm a
"lefty" (handedness, not politically which doesn't belong here) and always
reverse my button order so that their arrangement is as natural to me as
they are for a "righty" in that the button closest to the keyboard is the
primary button. In the past, Anaconda had no need for more than one
button, so why not treat all buttons as equals? In other words, any mouse
button click should be handled identically.
Now, if the mouse pointer could also reverse upon detecting the apparent
handedness of the user, well that would be one of the coolest UI tricks
ever. (Oh and while I'm dreaming, might as well magically change all UI
labels and documentation for mouse buttons to be 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
instead of "left", "right", "middle".) I've been adapting all my life, so
I won't be too disappointed if none of this materializes.
