That may be useful, but
a) this patch doesn't provide that, and
b) it may not actually possible to implement such a change in a portable
way as there may be no function exposed by the curses implementation
that provides this information.
To put my closing this issue differently: I rejected the patch that
Victor initially submitted. If anybody wants to contribute a different
patch that uses a different strategy, please submit a new issue.
