 There was a very significant rototill of curses in 10.x that corrected a lot of positioning
 and colour handling bugs. This may make it difficult to backport a single function.
 Fortunately it would be possible to just backport the whole changeset as curses is fairly
 independent, it would be a matter of identifying the commits and requesting a pullup to 9.x
 and 8.x
