The programs are not functionally the same.
OK? So, you want and expect `;7` emitted twice, instead of once? Is there a purpose to that I'm not privy to?
I posted a diff showing how they differ by that detail alone. Am I missing something?

It goes in the changelog (which as a SWE, you should have noticed).
Alright man. I think you might be willfully obscuring the sentiment behind my comments, for reasons unclear to me, but hey, fair enough.
...and further observation should have pointed out that I don't spend
a lot of time arguing.
Hmm. I did observe how well preceding reputations can match the real deal! So we got that going?
FWIW, securing new developers is easy. If you want to do as much. I came here to follow through on a literal *12 character change* and spent much much *much* more time acquiescing to a clearly dated workflow, centered on a single individual, wrought with barriers and massive documents full of superfluous commentary... a cursory search on GOOG reveals I'm not a beautiful and unique snowflake :-|
Surely you see some of this?
I'd challenge this project (is it a project? If it's a burdensome hobby I'm certain someone would offload it for you) to recognize the progress and engagement realized by umpteen other teams pressing all available advantages. Alas, after days learning terminfo and scouring information, I've little confidence that's even a goal here.
Anyways, I suppose I'll watch this list indefinitely simply to confirm the change happened. Maybe I'll even score one of those sweet sweet Saturday patch releases! And someday, just maybe, I can clone ncurses and submit a patch without all this. A man can dream, right?
Thanks,
