Indeed, but also termcap is a tire fire. I like the way Ghostty deals with it: https://ghostty.org/docs/help/terminfo

Even then it still leaves a lot to be desired. I'm not sure I can consider any of this to be truly reasonable.

Kitty does this as well. Looks like every terminal ships with their own terminfo nowadays. Apparently this is to work around the ncurses maintainer.
