        + use return-value from vsnprintf to reallocate as needed to allow for
          buffers larger than the screen size (report by "_RuRo_").
        + modify tset "-q" option to refrain from modifying terminal modes, to
          match the documentation.
        + add section on margins to terminfo.5, adapted from X/Open Curses.
        + make tput/tset warning messages consistently using alias names when
          those are used, rather than the underlying program's name.
        + improve tput usage message for aliases such as clear, by eliminating
          tput-specific portions.
        + add a check in toe to ensure that a "termcap file" is text rather
          than binary.
        + further build-fixes for OpenBSD 6.9, whose header files differ from
          the other BSDs.
