Our termcap(3) was independent of termcap(5).

That is, we could use any extension capabilities not listed in termcap(5),
and, though it is not a good manner, we could even use capabilities
listed in termcap(5) for different types and purposes.

example:
	:AA=2ndsetup:hz#100:
		tgetstr("AA", &ptr) => "2ndsetup"
		tgetnum("hz") => 100

Thanks,
