ACK.  I've gotten a bit sidetracked learning more about terminfo and
ncurses...and a dreaded, predictable thing happened.

I found the existing ncurses documentation frustrating and started
rewriting it.  (This is how groff got stuck with me.)

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2023-09/index.html

Fortunately, ncurses is attentively maintained.  So instead of sucking
up a whole bunch of oxygen there as I did with groff, I found that it
behooves me to actually read the X/Open Issue 7 standard for curses.

That is a 420-page document, so it's taking some time to absorb.

How would you feel if I created a feature branch for grotty-terminfo?

I'm traveling this week so my pace is slowed a bit.

Regards,
Branden
