First, I don't like termcap(5) configure file very much. It seems like a
format of last century and it looks messy, ugly and unfriendly.

Having to specify the file (ie ~/.globalrc) is kinda wrong. There are
three configuration scopes ordered from small to large:

1. project
2. user
3. system

`project' configuration should inherit from `user' and `user' from
`system'. This should be done automatically without users specifying
anything.
