Is the termcap string "rp" (and equivalent in terminfo)
supposed to work across line boundaries?  I mean if a terminal
can repeat a character but only to the end of the line,
then is it okay to call that rp?  The only program I know
of that uses it is emacs, and it never repeats across lines.
Also, is it okay to assume only printing characters are repeated?
