Terminfo Wish List:

	Support for backtab as a keypad character (maybe even support for tab
	as a keypad character, not just ^I).

	Support for terminals which allow on screen labels to descibe function
	keys (ie something like lab_f* but allowing a string parameter instead
	of a cursor)

	Modify pkey_* to allow length of string instead of using just assuming
	a terminating character (eg support for length of string on stack, %l)

	Support sequences to control block mode applications.

	Support colour as well as standard high-lighting modes.

	Ability to use line drawing character sets (eg a set of commands that
	will emit corners, vertical lines, horizontal lines etc.)

	Ability to define re-definable character sets.
