no - that's a characteristic of termcap relative to curses (one can have
more than one capability associated with a given string - since termcap
library doesn't decode function keys, it's up to the application to decide
what to do with it).

first one found in the list of strings).  I've deprecated those duplicates
in my own terminal descriptions.
