I confess I didn't consider that as a design constraint.  It's a
significant one since capability names (the C variable names) and
terminfo codes can be as long as 25 and 8 characters, respectively (24
and 7 on U/Win).

Nevertheless I found a solution.  You can expect it in my next batch of
patches.

Regards,
Branden
