[PATCH 076/100] man/curs_insch.3x: Tweak wording.


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [PATCH 076/100] man/curs_insch.3x: Tweak wording.
Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2024 17:00:31 -0500

Evolution toward soelim(1)-able boilerplates continues...

Stop explicitly claiming that "mv"-prefixed macros internally call
"wmove"; X/Open Curses says only "as if", and there's no need to
overspecify ncurses's own behavior here.

Say "SVr4 curses", since there was more to SVr4 than just a curses
library.  I believe the implied reference is to the SVID, but we can get
along without throwing a long obsolete standards document in front of
the user.
