(Sorry if this message is duplicated. My previous sending attempt seems
to have failed.)

I agree. I never fully understood the reasoning behind having separate
"*-s" entries for GNU screen. By looking at its changelog it seems that
"hardline" support was introduced in version 3.0, and 256 color support
much later, but we still have "screen-256color" and "screen-256color-s"
even though, as far as I can see, there is no implementation that
supports 256 colors but does not support setting the status line. I
wonder why two entries were created instead of just one.
