 This is a difference between XPG4 curses and BSD curses. I am not sure what's
 the best way to deal with it.
 
 http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9693989999/toc.pdf says that standend()
 is equivalent to calling attron(A_NORMAL), whereby our man pages state that
 standend only turns off the standout attribute.
 
 I think that we should follow suit, but it feels wrong :-)
