Thomas,

(As if you had all the free time in the world) One thing I think would
be very helpful in the man pages would be list all of the related
terminfo/caps that might apply to a function.  For example, somehow
indicate that initsrc() and endwin() issue smcup and rmcup when
available.  Does that make sense?

There are a few special cases (like the ones you mention).  But scrolling
for example, would use a lot of features. mvcur tries 5 different strategies, choosing the cheapest.
