First, xt-mouse is not about curses, it's about xterm-specific mouse
protocol.

And second, the issue here, at least for me, is not the user surprise
that the mouse works, it's that features which used to work in Emacs
when running on Terminal.app before that change cease to work, at
least in some situations, now.
