This change isn't hugely friendly API wise- for code that invokes setupterm() 
multiple items (and does so knowing what it's doing), they're now silently 
locked into whatever the first term invocation was.

Personally, an override here has major usage- especially for scenarios were 
people are writing tests and adjusting the term's they're using to check their 
implementation.

As it is now, they wind up locked into whatever term they first invoked it 
with, getting back term codes from tigetstr for the previous term...
