There would need to be a new terminfo entry (whether the capabilities
are added to wsvt25, and an older compat added, or a new wsvt25plus
entry added), as otherwise a remote session from a newer system into
an older will have issues due to missing capabilities.

Maybe just update the manpage to note when the new capabilities were
added and leave it for a release or so :)
