Hmmmm.... The description in the commit doesn't seem to describe the
change completely.  "is" was changed, even though the part removed was
added to "ti", I don't think it was a good idea to remove that part of
the sequence from "is" since some programs may only use "is".  There's
no problem, so far as I can tell, with sending the "\E)0" part twice if
some program actually uses both "is" and "ti".

On the other hand 'less' uses "ti" and "te", but not "is".  :-)

I'm also not sure it was a good idea to negate "if".  That may be the
real cause of the observed problem.  So far as I can tell it is always
necessary to initialize the tab settings on wscons (in its mis-named
vt100 emulation mode) (and why it's necessary to use "stty oxtabs" for
raw output by non-curses programs).  Testing may not have revealed this
problem unless the tab settings were purposefully scrambled or cleared
after each test.  On the other hand I don't see immediately that 'less'
uses "if".  Hmmm....  Maybe something else used during testing did use
"if"?

It's also not necessary to use vt220-8.  The full vt220 entry, even
after being appended to the new wsvt25 (and wsvt25m) entry does fit
within 1023 bytes just fine.
