+# Reviewing after ncurses 6.2:

+# Mohave 10.14.6 - Terminal.app 2.9.5 (421.2)
+# + Cygwin's mintty 3.1.7 works with colon/semicolon
+# + PuTTY 0.73 works with semicolon
+# + Teraterm 4.105 works with semicolon
+# + terminology 1.7.0 works with colon/semicolon.

+# Other variants are possible, e.g., by using more of xterm's indexed color
+# palette, though the intrusion of indexed colors on the direct-color space
+# would be more noticeable.
