        + improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
          variables (discussion with Mark I Manning IV <address@hidden>).
        + demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
          use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
          specialized type for the middle initial/name.
        + fix MKterminfo.sh, workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature of sed 
4.0
        > Philippe Blain:
        + optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
          is indeed a "blank".
        + simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
          sections as small as one line.
        + improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
          to use it.
        + use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
          the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
          affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
