Maybe it depends on meanings of "special".

The purpose of my changes is not full ISO 2022 compliancy
but to just make sysinst (and kernels) show box drawing chars
(handled by curses and default terminfo with TERM=vt220
that use smacs="^[(0" and rmacs="^[(B" for G0) properly,
i.e. it's really somewhat special.

If there are so many softwares that require G1/G2/G3 and
we want to utilize them on these tier-II ite ports,
maybe the right way to go to switching to MI wscons(9),
rather than remodeling ancient 4.4BSD derived wheels.
