But it's a good start.
Well, I'll need to talk to ncurses to get the extensions added; after that, I'll have to get the various terminal emulators, and any other suppliers for terminfo descriptions, to actually /specify/ the extensions; then, it'll take a good while for the various applications (such as vim) to actually check for its presence.
