After jkh added basic erase/erase2 support a while back, I was wondering
why it didn't really seem to matter. It seems that just about nothing
takes into account the possibility of erase2 (VERASE2) existing, so I
took a look and found the three most noticeable offenders (ncurses, nvi,
and less) are all completely orthogonal. I went ahead and added support
in all three, but I think we need to decide if the proper course of
action right now is to get these changes accepted and finish implementing
erase2; if we don't try to support it pervasively, I don't feel it has
very good value.
It's a no-brainer to add support to nvi, since it's essentially "ours"
now to do what we want with. How many other OSen have erase2 support
such that the ncurses and less maintainers will see the value in it?
