That addresses 1/3 of my comment.  Looking at AIX 5, there is no termcap
file, the manpage for terminfo does not mention the names used for the
second parameter, and "strings" on the curses library shows no plausible
tables containing those strings.

(the other 2/3 of course dealt with determining when the change was
added, whether it makes sense now - or even if it was a suitable change
at the time)
