[PATCH 07/22] man/curs_add_wch.3x: Add and drop material.


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [PATCH 07/22] man/curs_add_wch.3x: Add and drop material.
Date: Sat, 1 Jun 2024 15:22:03 -0500

* Align discussion with curs_addch.3x.
* Drop mention of underspecified return value; these functions did not
  exist in SVr4 (at least not in SVID 4 as late as 1995).
