[PATCH 1/3] man/curs_add{,_w}ch.3x: Drop claim.

[G. Branden Robinson]

X/Open Curses Issue 7 says:

"§3.4.3  Special Characters

Some functions process special characters as specified below.  In
functions that do not move the cursor based on the information placed in
the window, these special characters would only be used within a string
in order to affect the placement of subsequent characters; the cursor
movement specified below does not persist in the visible cursor beyond
the end of the operation.  In functions that do move the cursor, these
special characters can be used to affect the placement of subsequent
characters and to achieve movement of the visible cursor.

...

<carriage-return>  Unless the cursor was already in column 0,
                   <carriage-return> moves the cursor to the start of
                   the current line.  Any characters after the
                   <carriage-return> are added or inserted starting
                   there.

...

add_wch()

These functions add information to the current or specified window at
the current or specified position, and then advance the cursor.  These
functions perform special character processing.

...

addch()

The addch(), mvaddch(), mvwaddch(), and waddch() functions place ch into
the current or specified window at the current or specified position,
and then advance the window’s cursor position.  These functions perform
special character processing."
