Note that you should also mention that it's a matter of the
application whether it even remotely thinks of using these entries or
not.  That's the thing with termcap (as opposed to terminfo): you can
extend it beyond things that have been originally intended.

Note also that XFree86's termcap entry defines two similar
capabilities: AB is a synonym for Sb, and AF is a synonym for Sf.  It
depends on the application which one it's expecting.  They also define
pa#64.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
