+ Most implementations which provide support for <EM>capname</EM> op-
+ erands use the <EM>tparm</EM> function to expand parameters in it.
+ That function expects a mixture of numeric and string
+ parameters, requiring <STRONG>tput</STRONG> to know which type to use.
+ This implementation uses a table to determine that for the
+ standard <EM>capname</EM> operands, and an internal library func-
+ tion to analyze nonstandard <EM>capname</EM> operands. Other
+ implementations may simply guess that an operand contain-
+ ing only digits is intended to be a number.
