All is is_term_resized, resizeterm and the "internal" resize_term
functions are recent additions :-) From "man 3 resizeterm":
This extension of ncurses was introduced in mid-1995. It was
adopted in NetBSD curses (2001) and PDCurses (2003).
For some definition of "recent" :)
I have an odd relationship with curses, I was at UC Berkeley when Ken
Arnold adapted it from bits of Bill Joy's vi - "we" needed a
terminal-independent way to address things when the ADM3A terminal and a
bit later the HP 2621 turned up, making such programming possible (he
needed it for rogue, as I reacall); the version of curses we all use now
was shepharded by Pavel Curtis, a classmate of mine from Berkeley High
School. That said I don't know any magic stories... a number of Python
modules have made an easier to use interface to a popular library but
curses seems to be pretty much a direct transliteration, warts and all.
