sure: that's no longer terminfo (because the parameter markers are omitted),
but termcap.

I did this in 2000 (keeping in mind that ncurses 5.7 is a few years older).

20000923
        + split-out tgoto() again, this time into new file lib_tgoto.c, and
          implement a conventional BSD-style tgoto() which is used if the
          capability string does not contain terminfo-style padding or
          parameters (requested by Andrey A Chernov).

If you stick to terminfo, it's portable.
