But in this case, if the terminal is already allowing the keys to fall
through to the application, shouldn't the application handle it correctly?
I didn't think the terminfo file affected the actual behavior of the
terminal since scrolling the terminal is not something that the running
application handles.

Essentially, I'm confused as to why old-timers would be blocking this
particular change from integrating since I don't think they would be
affected.  I thought there was just disagreement with whether the terminal
or the application should get the PgUp/PgDn when pressed.
