The ncurses unit is based on version 5.6 of ncurses, according to
constants defined in the source. The upstream ncurses is now at 6.2, and
I wondered if there are plans afoot to upgrade the ncurses unit to
support a more recent ncurses version. Newer releases support 256
colours and additional attributes like italic on supported terminals.
These plans exist, I even did some work on it already.
I don't know if some part of the ncurses unit automatically generated
from from the C sources, so I don't know how difficult this job actually
is.
Well, it's a manual job. The C sources proved too messy for h2pas...
