| If they were so "extremely important" then they would not be optional, |

You're missing something. Vim used to have an ncurses USE flag, that |
| 12 |
would switch it between using ncurses and termcap-compat. On some |
| 13 |
archs, only ncurses was available, so some way was needed to force |
| 14 |
the use flag. |
