[PATCH 00/34] this week's proposed ncurses man page changes

Hi folks,

Not many alterations to content this week.  However I thought it might
be helpful to attach some diffs of how things have actually changed in
readable output.

Please find attached diffs of my changes with respect to Thomas's last
snapshot (20231001).  I generated "plain" text (UTF-8 with SGR escape
sequences) dumps of all the ncurses man pages with the following script,
using groff 1.23.0.

#!/bin/sh

dir="$HOME"/ncurses-HEAD/share/man

gzip -dc $(find "$dir" -type f | sort) \
  | nroff -t -ww -dAD=l -rHY=0 -rCHECKSTYLE=2 -man

Attached are diffs with the options '-U0' and '-bu'.

Let me know if you guys find these useful, or don't.

Be advised, if you page these, you'll need to use "less -R".  A UTF-8
terminal will help, too.

Also, I see that neomutt wants to attach these as quoted-printable, so
there's that factor, too.  I tried to change it to base64 by hand--let's
see if that takes when this mail actually sends.

Regards,
Branden
