 Right, but the "second" above is a bit misleading, as we naturally
 tend to infer "first" as its target, while in fact it's "third" (the
 use=tmux entry that comes later and defines 8 colors).
 
 A.1.16 Similar Terminals
 
   If there are two similar terminals, one can be defined as being just
   like the other with certain exceptions. The string capability use can
   be given with the name of the similar terminal. The capabilities given
   before use override those in the terminal type invoked by use. A
   capability can be canceled by placing capability-name@ prior to the
   appearance of the string capability use.
