[PATCH 34/45] Revise summary descriptions of panel, menu, and form libra


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [PATCH 34/45] Revise summary descriptions of panel, menu, and form libraries.
Date: Sat, 25 May 2024 12:44:18 -0500

ncurses(3X) is explicit that the term "extensions" "indicate[s] that
they cannot be implemented solely by using the library API, but require
access to the library’s internal state."

So stop using it here for libraries that build on top of the curses API.

* man/form.3x:
* man/menu.3x:
* man/panel.3x: Do it.

* doc/html/man/index.html: Sync.
